No it isn't, just off yourself when you feel like the time is right. I don't get why everyone wants to stretch these years out until the bitter end and would rather end up in a home than just taking a nice walk one day and not coming back.
- themagician 8y agoI agree with you 100%. I think I’ll just get more reckless as I get older and start to deteriorate. Pick up activities with a higher probability of death. I’d rather die skydiving or in a sailing accident than from chemo.
- graeme 8y agoI suspect this plan might be rather upsetting to friends and family. Further, I suspect you wouldn't actually do this. And then you're a terrible burden to others. The Lotus Eater by Maugham is a good read on this theme: http://facultyweb.wcjc.edu/users/jonl/documents/LotusEater.pdf http://facultyweb.wcjc.edu/users/jonl/documents/LotusEater.p...
