[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I plan to self-euthanize once I can no longer live independently. I’m not going to enrich some crooked private industry because I’ve kept myself in good health. I’d rather leave money and assets to my kids at age eighty than spend $100k a year for an additinal 10-15 years to gaze out of a window being fed cafeteria food and missing my old life. [/quote] Serious question: what does this look like in reality, shooting yourself in the head? Do you not think that would be traumatic for your family?[/quote] You can’t possibly be serious. You’ve never heard of assisted suicide?[/quote] Yes, I thought it wasn't legal in the US?[/quote] It is legal in some extremely limited ways in a couple places in the U.S. but you need to be both mentally sound and verified by multiple doctors as terminally ill, with death expected very soon. It is actually extremely difficult to legally commit suicide. There's a great book about it, "In Love" by Amy Bloom. Her husband was in the early stages of Alzheimers and she helped him find a way to end his life, ultimately needing to go to Switzerland. https://www.npr.org/2022/03/09/1085387825/in-love-tells-the-true-story-of-a-writer-supporting-her-husbands-euthanasia-choi[/quote]
