I agree with the view of the post, I even started to develop this view after reading LOTR, where he talks about the fall of Numeriorians to cling to life, and how Aragorn overcame this by living as much as he needed and that's it.
Whenever I approach this topic, many people are against it, even because I think that in general it should not be a matter of age, but a matter of desire, obviously considering psychological treatments and everything else, if after all the process, whatever For any reason, a person no longer wants to be there, he should have access to this right, and I believe that this is even greater when the person is suffering due to a degenerative disease or something like that.
I also believe that we must be prepared for at some point not to be around anymore. It is not exactly a matter of wanting death, but of understanding that it is part of the cycle of life.
About Mcafee, maybe it could have been a plot of him too, considering the options would be limited. We'll see what will result from the tattoo...
Interesting point about LOTR; I believe that what matters is that we have the option to choose our approach to life and longevity... and so "quality" vs. "quantity" and some combination of these that suit us as individuals, rather than feeling enslaved to a cultural more that we "must" always strive to maximize our years.
And you're right, it's not popular with people. But for whom do we actually live? For ourselves, or to please societal standards?
