I’ll assume you haven’t been close to people in the last stages of some of the crueller diseases such as MND/ALS.

See? People would assume tons of things about other people. And one common assumption is that "what I want for me is what others want for them."

My opinion on the issue was already strong, but seeing people die after long diseases and people around them talking about "unplugging" them is what made me certain I do not want euthanasia.

My grandfather wanted to live even with half a lung functional and painful breathing.

Do what you want with your life, but please don't decide for others.

Lungs don't control whether you have any understanding of the people around you...

Trust me, when your brain does not receive the amount of oxygen it needs, even though mostly breathing pure oxygen at that point, your understanding becomes blurry at best.

I have no interest in deciding things for random internet strangers.
