    Of course not.

    But, say, when you break your back because you have osteoporosis and suddenly can't manage the stuff you've been doing for the past 75 years anymore, that isn't really life anymore. Or when you start sundowning because of a UTI. Or everything hurts all the time. And all your friends are dead. You can no longer drive so you're stuck at home. Your scoliosis finally catches up with you. Your ears go haywire and you get permanent vertigo. You have a stroke and end up half paralysed. You go blind. You end up with post viral fatigue because the world doesn't take viruses seriously. Etc.

    I have an elderly family, can you tell?
