You are far more kind than I. Anyone who thinks an Alzheimer’s victim is “childlike” is contemptible in my view. While an infant will foul themselves with their own body waste they will eventually progress and stop doing it.

My wife and I have an arrangement. If either of us is stricken with this monstrous disease, well....neither one of us is going to die like that.
And anyone who tells us that is wrong can kiss our asses.
