If I ever get sick like that I'd just kill myself

It's hard being a liberal. Part of the personality that's me is that I allow people tp be where they are in the moment; to express themselves however they desire without judgement or the imposition of my point of view.
I have a dear cousin who offered to help a friend's sister while her friend was on vacation. The sister has M.S., is morbidly obese and has no control over her body except for her hands. The woman was transported from bed to toilet via lift crane. Cousin was no doubt overwheled by this.
As a nurse, I'm no stranger to any of this. What bothered me was that my cousin was so taken by the horrible shape that this woman was in that she said to me, "If I am ever in a position where I can't care for myself, I'd probably just swallow a bullet."
It sounded very fatalistic. It was also said at a low period and was obviously not something that had too much thought that went into it. I found it rather offensive.
One man's humble opinoin.
