If I was old, creaky and suffered from all sorts of ills, then sure, just finish me off already. Buy if I could function well enough to be social, read books, listen to music... Just sort of a life in slow motion where nothing too wild happens. I could enjoy that. Friends, relatives, art, food, drink, walks in the park... Maybe even the occasional vacation in another country. Seeing sights. Not too bad, really.

But of course, once you're over the hill, you better have done most of what you wanted to do.

I respect that you at least had the courage to throw your hat in the ring.

You don't have kids do you Hawk? Maybe if you had kids you would have a different opinion.

Hooray for being drugged by hormones into a false sense of meaning.

Just saying if I was 50+ with kids and/or grandkids I wouldn't want to die.

I thought this was a cynic-off.

"50+" lol.. just wow. 50 isn't even old, anyone who takes care of themselves and stays active might as welll be 30 when they are 50.

I want to live life as long as I'm enjoying it.. and the latter portion of your sentence never comes true for must people (dare I say all people). Everyone has regrets. Also, diabetes isn't a death sentence or really even that bad in most cases.

The difference there though is that most people come to accept the concept of death as they get older

I don't think that's true.. I don't think age has very much to do with coming to terms with dying. Especially when you bring religious ideology into it, and explore the reasons an individual is prepared or ready for the inevitable reality of the living.
