Adults must be left to make their own choices. When the time comes, I want to go in peace, at a time of my choosing (or imposed by fate--for example, if I were to lose my agency or independence due to a medical condition or an incident), and not rot and suffer until I'm "terminal".
All through my life, I've been milked by way of taxes--and I'm OK with it. I've had a decent life; I've tried to actively minimize the damage I cause thanks to my existence. So, when the time comes (and I decide when it is), I don't want to be left begging for relief. I want to go in peace and with some dignity. I absolutely don't want to resort to violent methods or leave a mess for others to clean up.
So, my ask is that a method is made available. If I need to sign up in advance--when I'm deemed to be of sound mind and body--so be it. But I need a way. I deserve it. This is not negotiable.
