Question of the Week | 09/20/2010 12:00 am

LILY TOMLIN: Jane and I want to be proactive but we want to be in denial about our potential decline. So, I will secretly have Jane tested and she will secretly have me tested and then we’ll secretly treat each other with drugs and supplements that retard or ameliorate progression of the disease. Then, if the time comes, we’ll each drop the other off at the Senior Day Care Center. I don’t know who will pick us up.
