" From: JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " My brother and I, now both with a six as the first " digit of our ages, have talked about how long we would " like to live. He is a cancer survivor and his was " pancreatic cancer, which is a miracle in itself. We " have both decided we would like to go out at high " velocity, rather than lying in our own filth. my gf's mother developed alzheimer's, and i'm told she was quite happy. then again there's a broad streak of pollyanna in both my gf and one sister, so perhaps there's a natural outlook trend. i have medical issues on both sides of my family but not mental ones fortunately, and only one grandparent-generation on each side ultimately invalided. i too would rather go quietly out if i couldn't have my faculties and my dignity. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
