Kind of got lost here with reference to ALS as my husband's mother died of it. Since it attacks all the muscles eventurally you end up on a respirator with your mental facilities intact but unable to move. You know what's going on and that is it. No eating no walking no nothing. His Mother chose euthenasia given by compassionate docs in the hospital as she didn't want to be a burden and enjoyed her crafts a very talented painter, carver, dollmaker. She chose not to degenerate to this state. A morphine drip was started she dies two days later. Phillipa
