At least they seem to but I don't think we should see the afterlife as a snapshot of a persons mental and physical state at the moment of death. To me the soul is a lot more than that.

The aged and demented woman who doesn't recognize her own children now was once a young person full of vitality. I can't imagine that God would prefer she live though eternity crippled and mindless.
