[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t. I’m a nurse and even the fancy places are a crap shoot.  If it gets to the point that I can’t take care of myself, I rather peace out and not be a burden to my loved ones and/or live in any type of long term facility. [/quote]

Your body doesn't let you die when you decide to die, absent a suicide. Therein lies the problem. You may want to peace out but your body is still hanging around, refusing to let go. [/quote]

A trip to OR or Switzerland will take care of that[/quote]

You might not to be in a position to travel or make travel plans etc.  The reality is that a ton of people say this is their "plan" for their long term care and then they change their minds when the time comes.  You might be the .01% that's different, but it probably makes sense to also have a back-up plan in place.  Otherwise you will become a burden to others.[/quote]
