Please let me die before I become a shallow husk of bony flesh, immobile and at the mercy of a team of humans to keep me alive.

If you are young enough, your aging may look different.

Frailty comes from lack of stem cells, and stem cell exhaustion may be reversible.

This was the choice my grandfather made. Luckily, he was still competent enough to be allowed to make his own decision. He was 93 and couldn't see anymore, everything he loved was slowly being taken from him. He stopped all treatments and left the world on his terms.
