[quote=Anonymous]There's always someone who posts this on DCUM. I also have a friend who says that sort of thing. But the reality is: when you get to that age at which you'd previously said you wanted to end it all, and not be a burden, and not be dependent on others... if you were to be given a real choice, you'd prefer to live. It's only in cases of ALS, and similar, that some people do ask for that choice. They want the POWER OF CHOICE. Not necessarily to go through with ending their life. Some who live in countries which allow euthanasia and who have been given legal prescriptions, choose not to use them. In the end, the most important factor seems to be perceived control over their end. Not actual control. I find that fascinating. [/quote]
