most old people that reach the age of dependence, most of their major organs have started to fail any way. and more than likely will be dead or severely debilitated. if as a very old man i will one day choose to take my own life because of senility, well the final choice should still be mine.

those circumstances could certainly be ahead of anyone of us, but it is difficult to digest. i have been in fields where i saw suffering.
almost as bad is when a loved one refuses to allow death to come within reason. I have seen people hooked up on life support. and i know of cases where people have revived. personally i have instructed my children as my parents did me to let me go.
