"Tragically sad?" This is brilliantly creative, and much more humane than keeping them under lock and key or in restraints.
- brazzy 14y agoIt's a brilliantly creative solution to the problem, but that does not change the fact that the situation is tragic and sad.
- baby 14y agotragic and sad are suggestive emotions. Thus you should understand that there are people like him and I that don't find that tragic and sad at all.
- epo 14y agoI was responding to the suggestion that such "manipulation" was tragically sad. The fact of the illusion being necessary is tragically sad but it happens all of our lives, why stop with senility?
- b0rsuk 14y agoIt's a treatment, not a cure. It's for their good, but it's still deception. I find it creepy. A true solution would be making them not forget. I think it's tragic because it's an indication of a) how terrible some diseases can be, and b) how powerless we are to stop them.
- zizee 14y agoYes, the best solution would be cure the disease, but the nursing home staff are not going to be the ones working on a cure. They have a different set of responsibilities than the noble goal of finding a cure for Alzheimer's.
