There was a beautiful story in the news recently about an elderly couple in Holland who had both reached terminal conditions and chose to end their life together holding hands during the assisted suicide procedure. I found that to be a very humane and beautiful way to go. Since we're all gonna go sometime. thomas, + FrankR, liubit and 3 others 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew two people who made that choice last year, both in their 90s, whose partners had died during the pandemic, and who both had medical conditions that were making the remainder of their lives miserable. + DrownedBoy and pubic_assistance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ sniper Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Hmmm...no quotes from his children. Wondering if a son assumed his identity when he died, like they think happened with Jean Clement the alleged oldest woman ever. + Charlie and samhexum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ DrownedBoy Posted Saturday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:41 PM I'll stay alive, like others said, as long as I'm healthy enough to live a semi-normal life, and retain my cognitive abilities. When I get too sick and might become a burden, or my chronic disease gets too bad, I'll just stop taking my pills. That's how my grandfather decided to go. If I am diagnosed with dementia, I will end my life shortly afterwards. I've had older relatives who spent their last years as zombies lying in a nursing home bed. Just....no. thomas, + Charlie and liubit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
