    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.
