I had to go back to the OP to understand what we're talking about here. I think it's the possibility the modern medicine has extended lives past their more natural conclusions.
My mother, who never wanted to be committed to a nursing home, died in a nursing home. During the last years of her life she mutated into an entirely different person, one who I didn't even recognize. Mean. Had a list of medications that was a full page long.
My father died in the same nursing home after losing his mental faculties. He didn't know who I was. Accused me of hoarding all the ketchup at the dinner table.
My uncle, a proud atheist who claimed he'd shoot himself before going into a nursing home, recently died in a nursing home after turning into an entirely different person and finding religion. The presiding priest at the funeral didn't know who he was.
My daughter is currently dying of Stage 4 brain cancer. She's barely conscious. What's left of her isn't her, but she takes anti-seizure meds and gets chemotherapy regularly.
People ask my why I push myself so hard physically. It's not because I'm trying to stay healthy. It's because I'm hoping to die of a stroke.
