And if you could go there as a couple to end your life together, side by side and holding hands...would you? In a place that was comfy and intimate; something like a cross between a hospice room and a bedroom? With medical professionals present who would just put you to sleep with an injection like we do for our pets? There would be age and health requirements, of course. Not something to do on a whim just because you get depressed. But a place like that sounds infinitely nicer than wasting away in a lonely nursing home or writhing in pain in a hospital. Why don't we have more options when it comes to death?
The state of Oregon actually does that they have a law called the Death of Dignity act and two couples who are terminally ill can go in there and ask to be put to sleep and how they want to be put to sleep like choosing which music, etc.

I actually like your idea on this. Is still allows one to retain their dignity. Yea I would consider this as more tolerable than being and a hospital waiting on my end to come.

Maybe once I reach old age, like 107, I would think about it.
