Other Answers:
I'd actually like to go now. Can you arrange it?
No, I would want God to take me when he's ready. I also want to keep working out so I don't get to the point. I pray that happens.
yes
Ask Steven Hawkings.
definetly, being blown into pieces is my choice
If I was in a vegetative state already. I have already made a "Living Will" with my directives. That if I am in a vegetative state, I am not to receive hydration or food. I am a "DNR" if I code.
Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. Live without being saved, without the assurances of eternal life with Christ---that would be horrible.
No way. Hell, after a long life of productivity, lying back with a ventilator and taking in a view of the ceiling is God's way of giving you a little relaxation time. No one has the right to say they've had enough. THAT IS GODS! HOW DARE YOU!!
When the quality of life is negative and there is no hope of improvement, I'd like to have the means to painlessly kill myself. Don't really want anyone else making that decision for me, unless I am incapable, but I would like the option.
Yes, and I've informed my familt to specify DNR when I finally become totally incapacitated from disease or old age.
Absolutely. Life isn't just about living, it's about the quality of life. You should be able to make your own end of life decisions once you attain a certain age, physical condition or acquire a terminal condition without the interference of government or superstitions.
WELL,IT IS REALY CONTROVERSIAL SO IN OLD AGE PEOPLE WANA DIE BUT PHILOSPHICALY,ETHICALY
AND PRACTICALY IS NOT POSSIBLE.SUICIDE IS NOT NATURAL DEATH.AND PEOPLE NEED NATURAL DEATH .NATRUE MAKE THE PHENOMENA OF NATURAL DEATH.BUT IN RARE CASES GOVERMENT SHULD ALLO.
No way. Me personally I can always adapt to what circumstances allow for. There's always interesting things to do, like no matter how old you are it's not too late to keep learning new things. For example reading will always be something I will never tire of and if I lose my vision there would be audio books to take there place. As long as you have your faculties.aren't you fascinated by technology? If you are let's say 79 years old, it must be incredible to have lived through the changes that you have seen in the world and in technology. Wouldn't you want to stick around as long as possible to see what's next? Look for reasons to enjoy the time you have left and you will find them.
ABSOLUTELY! Dr. K was a hero in my eyes, there are many others like him, doing that kind of mercy work, just under the radar.hopefully someday our society will consider what is humane above what religions brainwash them into thinking is the right way of doing things..
If you are refering to a person who needs "Total Assistance " (Bedridden) Incontinent,unable to communicate, unable to use body parts,make decisions, feed themself,(etcetera),then no,I would not want to live that way. I have already instructed my adult children,that if this situation was to happen to me,then do not let me suffer,for this is what these people are doing. I'd rather go home peacefully,to "My Lord".
Source(s):
Because I am a Nurse,who works in a Nursing Facility,I see these situations everyday,where people just lay there and die. Families have instructed "DNR" (Do not resusitate). They linger on for months even years,holding on by a thread,(suffering). It is the most saddest part of their lives.
No. Too much is still around the corner that I would not want to miss out on. So you're old; so what. Think of all the things you can pass on to the next generation. I've learned too much stuff from folks who were old and infirm to want to dismiss my own knowledge as somehow unimportant.
So you can't do for yourself like you could used to. You spent your life taking care of others; let someone else take care of you.
God brings death when it's time. Why cheat yourself for fear of what tomorrow will bring?
Hope this helps,
Rebecca

No.It is not natural death.It is also not good for the society.The elderly people, however infirm they may be, still have something to contribute to the society.May be by their experience and suggestions.Unfortunately our social value system is more and more materialistic in the name of productivity.It is the duty of the society to take care of the elderly,but the obligation is seldom fulfilled to the fullest extent.Because of this neglect,frequently the elderly feel so.But inspite of all these,I still feel that even a few moments of life is still worth living till the natural death.Why should I give my life just because some others who are supposed to fulfil certain commitments failed to do so!Life is divine.Given by God.Who am I to want to finish it?
Absolutely! I even have a living will which legally forces my family and doctors to pull the plug in case I ever end up in a hospital and it looks like I would be stuck on machines the rest of my life.
After 12 years in the Marine Corps, I have a few friends who are in this exact position. It really sucks to see their friends and family watch hopelessly as they are maintained by nurses and machines never to live a normal life again.
One friend, Craig, can only move his eyes. A few years ago, he was the most outgoing and active person I knew, now when asked if he would rather die, he moves his eyes up and down (indicating yes) and tears start falling from this strong willed and once very physical young man.
If you have a horse with a broken leg, you shoot him instead of letting him live in pain. If you have a dog that is old and in pain, you euthanize him. It seems we are more humane to our pets than our own families.
So my answer is a resounding yes. It wouldn't matter if I was old or young, I certainly would not want to live if I could not take care of myself.
