I hope I die before I get old.

I don't mind if I live to 120, but when I get to that stage where I need other people to do more for me than I can do for myself... it's time to quit before I get farther behind.

Same. I want to enjoy life, not exist for existence's sake. Two days ago, the household's cat was clearly dying...barely cognizant, and what there was, is clearly miserable. Euthanasia was sweet release from the barfing, hunger, and exhaustion.

I want the ability to choose when I leave, to do so with peace, and with a plan for everybody involved.
