Who is better off if they are dead? “You” or them?
"They" would happily take a pill to end it (not just dementia, can't walk unaided, 3 stays in hospital this year, two after falls, no idea it's Christmas).Who is better off if they are dead? “You” or them?

Dementia is a god awful disease mate and you have my absolute sympathy if this is someone you know, it’s the disease of multiple deaths and hardest on those who knew them before hand.
Of course. It proves the benefit of the NHS for life expectancy. And the problem it creates of unaffordable pensions for an ageing population - not releasing housing so younger people can't afford to start a family, so we need more immigrants to pay people pensions for 20-30 years.
Is that what you meant by taking political bias out of the argument?
The foundations for the reduction and eventual removal of the state pension are in place with widely available contributory pension options. As we've seen with the WASPI women, changes like this take time to implement and need plenty of notice. There's no doubt that pensions will be tackled in our lifetime, it's systematically unaffordable without a constantly growing workforce. It's just going to be a difficult political message that people will contribute to existing state pensions, without receiving one themselves.

They're are plenty of other illnesses that I wouldn't wish on anyone else including deep depression and other severe mental issues. Plus plenty exist rather than live.Dementia is a god awful disease mate and you have my absolute sympathy if this is someone you know, it’s the disease of multiple deaths and hardest on those who knew them before hand.
So we can put to bed there aren't worse things than death.
