Yes- I doubt either of us would really do it...but I think we would also hesitate before putting the other in a nursing home. I think there is a great deal of loyalty at the heart of most marriages. There is in the ones I know anyway.
When my mother entered her final months, she wanted to know if I would help her die if she asked me. I said I hoped she wouldn't ask me. And I wouldn't know what to do anyway.

SHe said with some asperity, "For heaven's sake, you're a college graduate. I think you can figure it out."

I said, "Well, I didn't major in euthanasia."
(I was so pleased with that line I have even used it in a book.)

But I was so afraid she would ask..because I don't think I could have done it. She died horribly with courage and grace - and she never asked.
