This is so sad. Huntington's and ALS are about the only diseases I can think of that are worse than MS. I'm not sure if he knew but there is blood test for Huntington's that could have ruled him out.
I have cared for a young woman who watched her Mother pass from it, she was later diagnosed and surprise, surprise was on the psychiatric unit for a suicide attempt.
