I'll go somewhere I'm allowed to exit on my own terms, should I feel old, burdensome, and/or terminal. We're graceful to our pets when they get to this point, but want to hook people up to machines or such, sometimes for an awful long time, when they're rather wizened. My grandmother was 93 when she lost memory and recognition of the last person familiar to her (her son who was close by and would visit often). Shortly after that she broke her him and they had to fuze her leg. From 93 to 100 she was confused and somewhat frightened, every day, and simply sat in her chair and stared out the window - that's where the staff would roll her. It was an awful and hollow existence. Not me.
