“The U.S. is more problematic because it is harder hit by a range of issues that kill people even before they hit old age, including drug overdoses, shootings, obesity and inequities that make it hard for some people to get sufficient medical care.”

    My great grandma spent the last three years of her life almost immobile from several consecutive strokes, almost blind from several problems she developed over the years, couldn’t smell or taste anything. She was basically dying in slo-mo. Everything failed on her.

    The last months she essentially spent in a constant shit puddle, because here intestines somehow decided not to work properly anymore.

    It’s horrible and inhumane to let people suffer like that. Every diseased stray dog gets more mercy.
