I want to be in charge of my own death.
Kind of like how a T.V. producer will self-cancel his own show while it is still popular so the audience won't watch it grow stale and slowly
die.
I remember years ago hearing a story about how Hunter S. Thompson found out that he had some sort of cancer that there was no cure for, yet it
would take years to actually kill him.
So instead of putting his family through the emotional and financial hardship of helplessly watching him slowly die, he put a shotgun in his mouth
and pulled the trigger.
Some people say he took the cowards way out because he didn't "valiantly fight for his life". Personally, I think he took the high road because
he didn't want to see his family suffer needlessly.
Cancer or old age , when it gets to the point where I can't take care of myself, I'll take myself out of the game. I'm not going to allow a
machine to keep me alive when mother nature has her own plans.
Peace
