    I watched my great grandma slowly rot away in a nursing home. Three years. Three years of wanting to die, waking up in a puddle piss and shit every morning, can’t get up after a stroke paralyzed her right side, almost blind, almost deaf, not even granted the ignorance of dementia.

    She never wanted to die in a nursing home. She told me on her very first day there, that she just wants it to end. And I could do nothing to help her.

      I’m so sorry. Despite the radical anti-human lunatics that fight medically assisted dying, the world is moving towards expanding it. Let’s hope the next generation can choose how they leave this world.
