My mom has ALS, got it completely out of the blue without any family history, and she had long living parents too. Thankfully in my country the care is okay, the government pays a nurse so she can stay at home and get help when needed etc. But it hurts to watch the degeneration, and I don't understand why more countries do not allow assisted suicide?
I am not afraid of dying really, but more so that I get stuck in a very bad condition that is like hell and I have to suffer a lot. If I had the option of medically assisted suicide, it would somewhat eliminate that fear as I would know that I have that option..
One thing I use to cope with it is that I am only 27 and maybe in few decades there are better treatments, at least one can hope right.. But looking at treatments for neurodegenerative illnesses, it seems they have gotten absolutely nowhere
