Im not to worried about the child thing other than my life is basically pointless at that point and I honestly don’t see much of a point of the cost of my being alive at that point. The bigger thing to me is actually the physical. Not being able to feed yourself or eat solid food, not being able to get around by myself. The whole fingers and toes curling up which moves to arms and legs. The thing with the mental state is if you had full cognition and adequate support. Like hawking. Then you still have quality of life in terms of mental stimulation. If your mind is gone but your still good physically then there is a sorta quality of life. You can have some childlike happiness. But man once both go beyond a certain point (and the mental really goes first) its just omg bring the sweet relief.
Its the worst thing I ever witnessed. Curiously though it was someone who belonged to a faith that had a lot of ritual and that stuff stuck with them the longest since it was so ingrained over the lifetime. That actually in a way makes it sadder. Im now thinking about losing everything that makes me me except for some rote behaviors I performed again and again.
