However, if my mind goes (Alzheimer's) I'd just as soon pass sooner

I support euthanasia for anyone who wants to end their life when quality declines to an unacceptable point or when death is Imminent. I would not want anyone to be burdened with caring for the empty hulk that Alzheimer's leaves its victims, for example.

I want to live as long as I can reasonably take care of myself without being a burden to my family. With that said, i'm thinking 70 max is where that will be for me.

Maybe I'm just starting to notice them but lately I've met so many people in their 70s and 80s who are living vibrant and active lives. Just a few months ago I got passed in a 5K by the 71-year-old who won the senior trophy. It was humbling but made me want to mind my health more closely.
