The DU Lounge

I doubt it is that high. However, I also think that young people (20's maybe) might not fully understand and they might bail out. I don't remember if we stayed with ours back then. The older you get, the more empathy you have developed, and, I think, the more likely you are to stay. I stay and stroke them and say the loving words I have always said to them as they leave. I know it takes away any fear, it's someone they love softly saying words they have heard before. And when it has to be done, it is a kindness to them (one that so many terminal humans would appreciate)--we are the ones who will suffer.
