[quote=Anonymous]I'm of the mindset death with dignity should be allowed everywhere for certain circumstances so I see no issue with a person with cognitive capability doing what he is doing. I have seen the bitter end with grandparents/parent/inlaws and it is no prize to do everything you can to live to the point of not being able to eat, poop, pee, swallow, talk independently. Once I get to age 70m hopefully before major medical issues I will be researching options. If I get cancer past 75, I will decline any treatment, possibly after 70 if my kids.grandkids are in good shape and we don't have a serious issue where I feel I need to be alive to help out.

I pray I can stay able bodied and pleasant and be a supportive, kind and helpful spouse, mother and if I am lucky grandma. I don't want anyone I loved pulled in different directions and dealing with emergency after emergency. No thanks. Let me chose the dat, give away my stuff, do a fun trip first, eat every decadent food I have ever craved, say some loving goodbyes that fill my loved ones with hope, relief and gratitude (not guilt, misery and suffering) and then get stoned on some good meds until I pass away in a slumber.[/quote]
