I have several thoughts on this subject. I think degenerative diseases happen for a variety of reasons. One, is folks are living longer than they did years ago. Two, sometimes it's a genetic thing. Three, we're all growing older and this is just another thing that is one of the symptoms of that.

I have a number of degenerative issues....can't blame the relatives unless I have a recessive gene somewhere.

All I know is that we're not going to get out of this life, alive!! With this...I don't think it's up to the individual to decide when the "end" is to happen. But as someone else said, this is another subject altogether and will deal with the spiritual philosophies of folks. I think it's best left alone........
