If I develop either of those diseases, I want Tony 'The Blade' Portotti to take care of me if you know what I mean. Horrible, horrible way to finish out your days and I really think that dieing while you're still coherent and can remember your loved ones would be less painful for you and them than living and forgetting them and the events of your life entirely.

Parkinson's' is a bit different because you can still think. Alzheimer's is different though.....for me I would want my family to put me in a place that cares for Alzheimer patients. It's too big a burden to put my loved ones through that. I've talk to them and I've written it in a living will. I'm still young but it's never too early.

I have alzheimer specific training and have been involved in the care of both Alzheimer pts and Parkinson's. That you would put them together poses a whole other set of questions to me. With Parkinsons you lose control of your body, but with Alzheimers you lose your mental abilities....I would of course pray to die and get out of all the suffering that goes with either one, that failing I would seriously do a study of supernatural healing and look into that, that not occurring I would work on acceptance of my new role in life ,I would definitely prefer Parkinsons by far to Alzheimers....I would want to be in my own familiar surroundings with my family until I died, homecare with whatever assistance they needed or chose, I would be hoping it would be someone who understands how important the timely administration of my medications is and who gives me as much control as possible with all the details of my life without being exasperated or put out, perhaps some highly educated yet saintly person to care for me if I had Parkinsons. Someone my family felt comfortable with in their home. The same if I had Alzheimers, but I would hope that there would be someone available who understood how agitating continual correction is for a person whose mind is disappearing from them. Someone who is loving and accepting of the childlike state I will return to. Someone who is not afraid to give me all the antianxiety meds I will need if I return to some terrifying areas of my mind as is often the case with this disease.............If it could be as simple as take this cup from me and that happening............however life is not that simple ... My family has these wishes written down and directives for what level of intensity of care I would want in the case(thank-you God)of my heart failing during this Disease process, or my becoming unable to eat by mouth, or getting pneumonia(again thank-you God) I would absolutely want no artificial extension of my life in these circumstances. LET ME FLY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!But thats just me . Totally each to his own on this.

the undertaker.I would want to try out some of the experimental techniques that are in development first though.And one techniqe that has been banned,shows real promise in a nasal spray,rather than a needle to the brain,which was the reason for it being banned(there were a few people that caught infection from the needle).
