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?

Yes, I would. I would do a Robin Williams on myself.

@PhoenixPhail Really? I came close though not in that way. I didn't mean to mix the meds and that rather large shot of scotch was no help. I honestly thought I was dying, no joke. This was only a few days ago. I have never been so scared. While I still have my strength and the "good" part of my brain working...well, I just don't know anymore. I have a brain issue as well as the worst MS. It's like a race to see what body part will give up first.
@Mikla OMG. Yes, you've really got some issues.

And, yes, I would choose to die with dignity.
I have some rather challenging medical issues, myself, and these days, it would seem to be a race between whether I'll take myself out due to those, or if I'll choose to leave because of what's going on in this insane world.

Living in these times and with my physical maladies, [b][i]isn't[/i][/b] my idea of freedom.

@PhoenixPhail I understand but should you/we let "these times" make our decision for us? I am so sorry for your health issues my friend :(
