Suicide as a logical choice rather than a desperate one is so rarely talked about. It is just interesting to see views on it. For a "happy" person it sort of goes against the grain to do it but I see the reasoning. Add in the confusion of dementia at the time the decision has to be made. I'm not sure what to make of it! | ||

I’ve always been against suicide as a solution for desperation, for example, people who feel trapped or don’t like how their life turned out. I’ve always felt that at that point in time you are truly free. abandon everything and go live a new life. Join the marines, become a laborer on a farm, join the crew of a ship, anything. For situations that truly have no hope and the only outcome is suffering both of yourself and your family. I understand it now. | ||

I don't think I'd be happy in that context. Medical technology failed 'us' and at that point the body has failed too. Time ran out and we did not slay the dragon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZYNADOHhVY CGP Grey : Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant |
