There's a Lesson to Learn From Daniel Kahneman's Death

I can sympathize with that position. What I personally fear most about aging and dying isn't the dying, but rather the possibility of developing something like dementia or alzheimer's and experiencing the last portion of my life as a mental wreck, incapable of understanding what's going on, or taking any kind of coherent action. I would hope that if that ever happens, I'd find the courage in a final moment of lucidity to drive my car into a lake, or something along those lines.

If I knew that kind of end was in the cards, and I had the option to choose a nice, quiet, painless death by physician assisted suicide, I think I would very (very) seriously consider choosing the latter.
