I’m unmarried and have no kids or family. Before things get bad, I plan to go to the Netherlands to do assisted suicide. I’m probably good until 55-60. Then I want out. [/quote]

are you 25? I am 54 and frankly feel really well. I have a relative with dementia (no kids, my parents, who are in their late 70s, took her in and are taking care of her, but they all have money, a great caretaker that help 40 hours a week and another ready to step in when there will be need for more, so she is especially lucky, will not have to go to a nursing home as long as my parents are alive and she is order than them). but seeing her like this, and seeing my  mother in law down on the same path, is heart-breaking and I hope I still have a sufficiently clear mind to just shoot myself if this happens to me.

however, for all those counting on the Netherland, be careful because as far as I know you need to be a resident of the Netherland and also need to meet some medical criteria, you cannot just show up and get it because you want it,. same for other  European countries that allow assisted suicide, except for Switzerland, where is not free but you have to pay $$$$. even in Switzerland you should meet some criteria, like having less than 6 months of life but apparently, since you pay, rules are more flexible.
