I don't intend on rotting away from some ungodly condition when I'm older - I've seen countless people just break down, degenerate, and ultimately die . . .all the while knowing it was coming and wanting to die sooner than later to forgo the misery. . . and modern medicine has a horrible tendency of just prolonging the suffering.
I most certain don't want to experience that.
Suicide sounds dandy to me - I supported Kavorkian and think it's offensive that people would prefer another person suffer ad naseum when they, themselves, aren't going to be the ones to clean out the colostomy bag or treat the bedsores.
I feel the same way. I have absolutely no intention of suffering needlessly. I have also promised several family members that I wouldn't let them suffer, either.
