I have a gut feeling that as physical medicine has advanced faster than neuro or psychiatric medicine, people will live long enough to want to die, and euthanasia (self or pre arranged) will become acceptable, even normal.

I would choose to give my children financial benefits instead of years of late life medicine, even if I could afford to live over 100.

If you’re as good a parent as your comment suggests, I bet they’d trade the money for more time with you.

I would love for quality of life to improve so you could enjoy until, say 100, and then euthanize. The two problems i see are:

- Retirement age will likely be pushed until 80-85, to avoid long pensions.

- Young people will find it harder to get a job, even harder to get a well-paid one.

That would be waste to remain healthy enough to live to 100, then kill yourself. Mental health is a part of living that long in the first place. Anybody who has the mentality that they'll just kill themselves once they reach that age, probably won't live that long anyway.
