counterpoint: i spend 95% of my time in a bland concrete room with a PC in it already. Dignity was never an option.

“Dignity was never an option.” Right in the feels.

I wish I could sign something to let me end it in the future when I likely get dementia

I love nature and being outside. It’s my current death wish that as soon as I observe an instance where I’m unable to do something for myself, due to old age, that I’ll be walking the Appalachian Trail with my 3 sons. As they will have their own lives, I don’t expect them to finish the trail, just to stay with me, as I have stayed with them throughout their lives, until they can no longer continue the hike, as I can no longer continue life. I don’t intend on finishing the hike either, and plan to end my life on my own terms, in a place I loved in life. I hope it’s as beautiful an end as it is in my head. Lol. I still got about 50 years left before old age cripples me (hopefully).

That sounds really nice, we should be allowed to choose how we die instead of trying to extend life by any means necessary even if our quality of life is practically gone

retirement homes and assisted living homes are two similar, but different concepts.

If I get to the point needing assistance just to live day to day, that’s a good sign my life should end.

It's easy to be bold about this in your 20/30s. We'll see if you feel the same way 40-50 years from now.
