    Fun fact, learned this over labor day weekend. There is a family friend whom is in the throws of senility. The family isn’t well off but they have him in an old folks home… in Thailand. The kids says cost is super cheap, and the care he gets is “great” so I’m told. Now, the issue is that some of the siblings want him back in the US, where they can not afford to keep him I. The care he has now is much better than what the family can afford, and none of the family are willing to take care of him themselves. They just want him back.

    I bring this up so as to say. Maybe his kids send him to Japan, where the elderly tend to die alone and quietly. I dont imagine he will know how to use a phone in the next few years
