If you knew your brain was atrophying (rotting) at a fast rate would you choose to die with dignity while you can still think for yourself?

Well people's brains do naturally atrophy over time. So it really depends on just how fast we are talking about. People have lived with up to 90% of there brain gone.

@canusernamebemyusername I do know as we age things change. I am referring to a disease of which there is no hope for longevity nor cure.

@Mikla That is a deeply personal decision and no one can give a person advice on that. At best I've seen is no matter what decision a person makes in that kind of situation it is always the wrong one. At least to somebody. :/

@canusernamebemyusername I have a friend who is not even 30 yet and half her brain is gone. She does a lot of dumb stuff.

@canusernamebemyusername I wasn't asking for a decision, I was asking a question out of curiosity. The decision is already made. Thank you for responding!
