Dr Death needs to butt out, we already have a very good way of easing end of life.

Please tell me what that is - I'm sure both my parents would have opted for it rather than what they ended up with.

Only if you're lucky enough to get a bed in hospice. There's no guarantee of an available bed when you need it.

Are we living longer. I think I read somewhere that is not necessarily the case.

It seems as though dementia etc is becoming more prevalent. It's not.

Previously, for various reasons, the body gave out before the brain did.

Nowadays, due to medical science, lifestyle choices, diet etc we are all living longer so it's more the brain gives out before the body does.

Unfortunately this can mean that mentally folks can degrade to a point where they are no longer the person you knew and loved.

Now physically during this process they can be perfectly healthy making things impossibly difficult.
