End of life planning makes sense when you're old and/or sick, right? And I think most of you (out of 1.5 or so people reading this) are supporters of palliative care and potentially assisted suicide. What if we just tire of living? Isn't that as valid a reason as any?
And if so, how do we approach it? Futurama envisioned suicide booths on every corner, but perhaps we can be more tasteful than that. Maybe our mental health care system would benefit if patients were allowed to discuss these options. David Foster Wallace may have had a less tragic end.
