People living with such extreme disabilities are so much stronger than me.
I put a lot of pride in my independence. If I needed someone else to feed, clothe, and bathe me, I think I'd rather die. I'd feel like I was no longer living, but merely surviving.
Probably most people would think like that, but it all depends on what you can still do. If you become a good writer or even if you stick to software, but make valuable contributions, that improve the world a bit, or become a great orator, or give people good counsel, or any other great activity, you might find, that that is a goal worth still continuing to live.
