My brother died of ALS earlier this year. But from what I’ve heard even if he lived here where we have the death with dignity law he couldn’t have used it. Nothing worked from the neck down and the patient has to take the pills themselves. He would have had to do it a year or two earlier when he still had some function. I scares me that I could end up like that and just forced to exist for a long time.
