If you're not, why not die now? If you get an infection that would kill you without medical attention, why not just let it kill you?

  Just because I'm not scared of death doesn't mean I don't see any reason to live. I enjoy life and living. I would pursue treatments but there is eventually a limit past which I would not bother

    SENS is not about keeping people alive and miserable past that limit. It is about undoing aging, so that you can be young and healthy instead. Living longer is just a side effect of that, as aging kills people.

      Yeah I don't really have any desire to be younger or healthier
      • snvzz 4y ago
        That's OK I guess, but also quite unusual unless you're young to begin with.

  I'm not scared of death, but there would be several people that would regret my passing. Also, when someone kills themself, it is normal (i.e. the expected response) to feel guilt and pain, even if nobody, including yourself, thinks you were in any way responsible. I've formally informed the health services that I don't want to be resuscitated in the event of a stroke or heart attack. If I get an infection, however, I'm not likely to die; Ebola is rather rare. Much likelier is that I'd end up disabled, in pain or unable to care for myself.
