What the fuck man? John Nash was an incredible man and it is tragic that both he and his wife passed away in this way. They didn't deserve to go out this way and this is really disrespectful to them.


"There's no such thing! Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it! I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass... it's always ugly - ALWAYS! You can live with dignity; you can't die with it!" — House


Yea, so what, you can quote a fictional character all you want but it doesn't give a person the right to say disrespectful stuff like this. It is lamentable that they passed away and all I'm saying is that we should pay respect to them, not debate whether they should have died or not.


Do they deserve a slow lingering death due to disease?

Short of a heroic death where Nash uses his brilliance to save a bunch of kids I don't know a better way.


They could have lived a few(or many) more years.
