Thanks for giving this some bandwidth. I've been calling it the "Die Like a Viking" plan. My brief time will have been lived fully, and as an "average American", at a better standard of quality than most of humanity, past, present, or future, could ever dream. I've watched beloved family members on their final "medicinal" morphine drips, after living years with oxygen bottles and slow suffocation. In "The Shootist", Jimmy Stewart as doctor tells John Wayne as cancer patient that he "would not die like that". Just sayin'.
