Oh absolutely not. No thank you. The world at large has my permission to smother me with a pillow if I hit 90 and don't die. But it's fine, I'm sure the microplastics/ultraprocessed food/climate change/whatever will take me out before that.
People say wild stuff like this when they’re young. The 89-year-olds in this scenario change their minds. Every time.
Speaking as a nurse that's done a lot of hospice and goals of care discussions: it's absolutely not every time. Lots of folks primarily want to die with dignity.
That’s actually and ironically super encouraging to hear! I’ve become afraid of this trap that I see miserable older people slide into at will.
Thank you.
