Great, that works for you and you have family to fall back on. My wife and I never had children. Not from lack of trying or desire to have them. It just didn’t happen for us. She’s older and not in the best of health now, but she would not go the euthanasia path, and I will take care of her with every ounce of my strength. Me? I am not going to sit around and wait to be forced into substandard care by people who hate their jobs, and an administration who will seize my assets to pay for it. I will not become a burden on someone. If and when the time comes, I would like to have it as an option. That is my choice and not a “chicken” move. I watched my uncle die of cancer. A 220 pound marine who was at Iwo Jima reduced to an 88 pound skeleton who couldn’t function. That’s not happening to me.
I get the burden aspect. I told the wife if I don’t recognize her some day, point me in a direction in the woods and tell me to walk.
I don’t want to burden anyone ever, have the living will and good insurance (at least now) and covered by the VA. When the time comes she can put me in VA care.. they’ll kill me for free and it won’t be euthanizia.
Still don't think I could take my own life.
Still believe that would lead to eternal damnation.
