Poll: (for reals) Do you want to be put in a home when you grow old? If assisted suicide is an acceptable means to end your misery by then, would you do it?

no home unless it's that one on dolores at 16th and i'm not going to die in a hospital and everyone who may be concerned has instructions to toss my failing body out the window if it looks like i might die in a damn hospital bed. in fact, my friend and i have a pact to kill each other if we get burns on more than 20% of our bodies.

uhm. hm. *thinking* only if it was home for sarcastic dykes and they had interesting activities. otherwise, no home. I would probably opt for those assisted living luxury apartments. definitely! I doubt that it will ever be considered acceptable, tho. maybe I should invest in cyanide pills.

Wouldn't want tobut... I think it wouold be really rough for my family to take care of me too... I guess I would want them to want me there as opposed to being a burden.

Suicide is painless especially compared to living with cancer or any of the other things that eventually get us.

More details? How old am I at the time? And what is my quality of life? There are some homes that have all these activities and the people seemed to have fun If I'm eighty, have three meals a day, can sometimes get to the bathroom on my own, have sing-a-longs and dances and I can meet other people my age to play backgammon and bitch about reality television with I'm there. But if I'm bed ridden and losing my mental capabilities I may want to end it.
