Of course it is easier for someone who isn't in any serious medical issue to say "I don't want to become a burden to anyone, etc. and would rather end my life when it gets close to that point" than actually go through with it. I can think of a number of medical issues I wouldn't want to live through but then again, would I have the courage to actually end my life? Wouldn't be an easy thing to do for most people.

Lots of Alzheimers in my family and I have seen it up close and personal. Doing my best to avoid it, but if I get it, there is no way I wouldn't pull that trigger. I am not afraid of dying as much as have a fear of living while not being alive. NOT putting our kids through that.
