Marissa is correct in her statement that in Janet's desire to maintain "quality of life" Janet is placing a huge burden on those people in her life that care about her. By asking the people closest to her, to help her end her life if her state deteriates, puts her loved ones in a stressful state. They must keep a watchful eye on Janet at all times to monitor any mood change. Her family may also become fearful of interacting with Janet because they might be concerned that a small comment they make to her might send her into a deep dapression. Since Janet could possibly develop Alzheimer's Disease in the later stages of the disease she will not be able to communicate her wishes to her family members. This leaves Janet's family members to have to guess what her wishes might be. This puts a great strain on anyone that loves Janet and makes them wonder if they are doing what she wants or what is right. Meanwhile Janet's family members can only tell her as much as possible how much they love her and how they will do their best to help her in her fight.
