Today's WTF moment

This moment actually happened 2 nights ago. An older, dare I say, gentleman, was talking to someone about his mother's battle with early onset of Alzheimer's. What made this even worse than it's face value was that this happened in the midst of one of the types of crowds that vibes that they are more "enlightened" than the average folk.

Quote:
"My mother's body physically is great. She will probably live forever, which she is not happy about. But she isn't willing to do anything about it, which is inconvenient"

WTF

...She isn't willing to do anything about it...

Now, one of my worst fears is that I or any of my loved ones would get Alzheimer's. I just feel like that would be one of the most heartbreaking things that could happen to me and mine. But I could not imagine wanting them to be gone for the sake of convenience. To say I was pissed off at this statement is an understatement. I was outraged. I was angry and sad, but mostly angry. I believe that all life is sacred, once gone...it cannot come back again. My mother died when I was a pre-teen. If I could trade her dead body with one that is strong physically but whose mind has decided it's own path, I would take it so fast. Just to be able to see her when I could would be an immeasurable gift. It saddened and angered me that life can be so expendable to some, especially your own mother's... I'm still at a loss...and still a little pissed off...
