Age and health are funny things, sometimes it slowly creeps along, other times it jumps. At 20 my perspective of old age was different from when I was 30,40,50.

Age and health are funny things, sometimes it slowly creeps along, other times it jumps. At 20 my perspective of old age was different from when I was 30,40,50... One concern as I get older is the whole aspect that you can reach a point of so much pain and limitations that life becomes a living torture, and with that - my appreciation of the need for legal euthanasia is something that my support grows with age. After all, it's not worth worrying about death and I don't. What worries me is how I die. Dignity goes a long way and I sure don't want to husk out for days on end in so much pain and medication to combat the pain that I'm dribbling wreck unable to function. That's not my idea of life and I'd like to have that choice and whilst living wills have some carry, the limitations due to dated laws regarding euthanasia and ending ones life early are in need of revision.
