I probably go the same way, but I dont want anybody taking someone's life to keep an old man alive and from suffering. I dont want that at all. I would have liked my dad to be able to think like he used to because he was a very interesting man. And a good guy.

Pgardn,
I don't know about Pick's disorder, but you might find this article about Parkinsons to be of interest.
