I never fully pursued it, but I went through some elder care training many years ago so had to wipe other people's butts. Its not easy when they're bed bound and it isn't their fault, but it doesn't make it any less gross or comparable to doing the same thing for a much smaller child.
Did some of that too, and yeah other than the obvious size differences between adults and children, seems like it's considerably stankier when the digestive system ain't what it used to be. Plus you have to try not to react, a baby's feelings aren't going to be hurt if you gag, but it's important to not make the person who's lost some of their faculties feel ashamed about it.
