I am thinking the same things.
I have an issue with the tenant of faith that demands a natural end.
We can keep folks alive well past the due dates of the past, as it were. Not necessarily in great or even endurable shape but we can stave off death, while our systems slowly fail.
I still struggle with that a lot.

Do I really want to be a burden on anyone at my end? Is that some kind of hubris to keep breathing to a bitter finish?

Personally I think it would be very selfish of me to burden them that way and I don’t want to live like that. It is not life, it is half dead and stuck in the middle.

I, too, have an issue with the Sixth Commandment ("Thou shalt not kill.").

Surly produce dept. workers, snarky bank clerks, lazy postal employees... Lots of folks just need killin'.

Regards,

The directive to physicians, or “living will”, is designed to require only comfort care upon diagnosis of a terminal or irreversible condition, where the patient can’t make the decision for him/herself. I’ve prepared close to 1000 of them for my clients. This makes it harder to “keep people alive” past their expiration dates.
