In the case of those in fear of becoming a victim to the medical killers, after getting their affairs in order, take about $20-30k and move to one of the prettier parts of rural Mexico.

You can get pretty accommodations, good food, good frequent medical and nursing care, several caretakers and house cleaners, etc. All for a fraction of the price in the US. You can even arrange for your own funeral when you do pass away.

It’s a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) lifestyle. It keeps you out of the hands of those who would loot your wealth and abuse your family. Plus it includes a parting shot at the government, denying them the ability to “close your files”.

All God requires is for you to believe that He sent His son to die for your sins and rose again and to confess Jesus as Lord. There isn’t anything else you can do to earn salvation.

My 87 year old aunt still jogs daily.
Sounds like the old couple were sold on the idea by the relatives.

After 65 loving years together and both aged 91, they certainly earned their last wish............

“They gave each other a big kiss and passed away confidently holding hands. According to their own wish.”

May God bless them and I'm sure He will........

As a side note, my stepmom died in 2000 of an unexpected heart attack. Dad spent a little over a year of loneliness while fighting pancreatic cancer and ultimately died in May of 2001. When she died, he gave up no matter how we tried to help him............

To start with, the government is now insisting on “cradle to grave” tracking of all citizens, with dozens of federal agencies keeping dossiers on each of us. Every now and then someone is mistakenly declared dead and it takes years to fix the problem, because if one agency misses their “resurrection” they tell the other agencies that the person is dead and it all begins again.

But when a person who might have assets just disappears, it throws a wrench in the system. A good way of paying them back for all their unwarranted voyeurism.

What a DNR lifestyle means is that if you have a critical medical event, like a heart attack or stroke, you do not want any extraordinary effort made to save your life. This is especially common with heart doctors, who carry around DNR cards, wear DNR bracelets and necklaces, and even get DNR tattoos, because they know what stroke and heart attack can do to a person, and they do not want to live if that happens to them.

In a way it is the acceptance of natural end of life, rather than to continue to live in a diminished state, attached to machines, but with no hope of regaining your capabilities.

And worse than that would be watching your spouse, unable to help. With anything. She drops her spoon, can’t pick it up. She falls to the floor, you can’t help her. Same in reverse for you. I got my DNR filled out before I was even 21 suffice it to say.
