I agree 100% with your post. My mom died of Alzheimers Sept. 15th(my dad's birthday-he passed in '96)2003. She would have been horrified about stem cell experiments, being a staunch pro life supporter. She passed away at 82. It was her time.
Little Ronny just wants to stick it to the Republicans, he doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but himself.
Many people I talk to about the subject of Alzheimer's always speak about how horrible it is to not be recognized by their own parent. I know that pain, but it's my pain...NOT MY FATHERS. When my father didn't know who I was he got upset, my goal was to comfort him, not me.
I have been asked by people how to deal with this part of it and my response has always been the same. Your mom or dad has spent a lifetime comforting you, now it's time for you to comfort them.
This is just my opinion, but I feel Alzheimer's is much harder on the relatives than it is the person suffering from it. So I cast my vote for spending the money on curing childhood diseases
This subject has me feeling a little selfish right now, I miss my dad
