Which Would You Rather Die Of?

[Don Quixote]

I don't know. Dying of old age is sure to be painful and full of angst, as you know the difference between what you used to do, and what you can now do, not to mention how society often treats old people.

C.S. Lewis, on the other hand, wrote that at least in war, you have a reasonable chance of going out painlessly (bullet to the head, blown to bits). And really, who are we kidding? Our chances at mortality are 100%. May as well go out with honor, and maybe pain-free.

heaven doesnt want me and is afraid I'd take over...

but if I had to choose..... Alzheimers

my question is.... who are the 3 people who voted for Lou Gehrigs?

What about Dementia?

Dementia is a step down right below Alzheimers. My grandmother had that before right before.

Actually dementia is the general term for the memory and functional loss you get with Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia but it can be caused by other things, too, like stroke or Parkinson's disease.

Alzheimers or Lou Gehrig's Disease?

Give me Alzheimers any time. I would hate to have to in a bag.

Overdosing on the soda is the way to go Primo.
