Yes I wouldn't classify someone who's 55 as "elderly", but they're not young either and I can imagine someone with a really painful, likely terminal condition at that age opting for a dignified death. Heck I'm 35 and if I got diagnosed with a type of cancer that has a really low survivability I think I'd opt for spending a year smoking weed on the beach and getting blowjobs then dying dignifiedly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Hexboare@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
