      I’d rather walk in front of a bus than die in a nursing home, frankly. Wasting away unable to care for myself seems uniquely miserable.

        I’m not saying i want to end up in a home, just that i should be able to afford one if i end up needing and want to be in one.

        My uncle decided on MAID yesterday, i support his choice.

        (Not so) fun fact : that is exactly what some end up doing ! Gf’s grandmother escaped her nursing home to walk in front of a train.

          Reasonable “death with dignity” options would erase the need for such drastic measures but of course the Christian Nationalists hate that kind of thing.
