Alzheimer’s has got to be one of the worst diseases out there. My mom currently has it bad and has no idea who any of us are anymore. I’ve told my wife if I’m ever diagnosed and can’t remember to off myself to do it for me rather than live like that.

Same. My wife and I both have a "smother me with a pillow" clause in our marriage. I've seen too many elderly relatives become a burden on their families for zero quality of life to stick around for that.
 
Quoting myself from an earlier thread:

At 76, my father was flying a few types commercially and was as good as anybody I’ve seen. At 78, we had to take his keys and sell his car. At 80, he was dead.

If I don’t have time for a long explanation, I provide two reasons why I’m an atheist. I don’t believe a loving and omnipotent god would allow our loved ones to suffer from Alzheimer’s or humans to outlive their dogs.
