Although my mother enjoyed reasonably good health and all ... her mental faculties until nearly her hundredth birthday, ... during her remaining two years (whenever she was aware of ... her surroundings) So, she had "all her faculties" but most/some of the time she was *not* aware of her surroundings? Is it me or is there a contradiction there? No contradiction - it was AFTER her hundredth birthday that she began to fail! (She was fine until then - and fully aware - except when she occasionally dozed off in the middle of a conversation.) |

I am fond of quoting a famous physician (whose name escapes me): "Life is a fatal disease." Man is the only animal that fears death - others try to avoid it, of course, but the anticipatory fear that mars the lives of so many elderly humans is absent in other creatures. We have no way of knowing whether or not other creatures fear death, as we don't know what they are thinking. It is typically human, though, to presume that we do. |

How would YOU know what's "typically human", Mixie? you are the most a-typical human I've ever encountered, either electronically or in real life! |
