Question

such as fullier faces

diapers

cognitive function

Answer 1

I think as human beings we basically start out helpless and through aging end up helpless.  As my parents say, aging is not for sissies.

Answer 2

They wear diapers...need constant supervision...aref fiesty...and dont have teeth

Answer 3

As we age we become like babies again................we understand less,we are also more dependent .it is good if care is given too the aged it is our duty

Answer 4

The elderly body deteriorates and the person gradually becomes less independent and therefore needs assistance in daily living. It's like a full circle.

Answer 5

I  think as we age we also revert back in time when we were actually cared for as children and the hopes and dreams you had when  you were in that state of mind....a time when there was not much worries and the somewhat  happier times in life  for some...   the memories  become much clearer of the things we really yearn for..............
