Having worked security in large 1000+ well-regarded senior home facilities, replete with alzheimer wards of hospital-smocked dementia-zombies in Depends shambling around all night; still living persons erroneously placed in the facility repository to await the undertaker...while still breathing,

and having placed my demented parents in similar facilities...the horrific situation is to be avoided utterly so as not to become a burden to others...by whatever means necessary. Several elderly persons I've known have opted to remove themselves, ie: refusing any medical attention, refusing food, or simply placing a plastic bag over their head...What, with Covid, global warming, breakdown of social order, pending WWIII...and the estimated/predicted end of civilization, ca 2040, worrying over a lifespan is hardly a priority.
