You are going to die, and it's a painful ugly business.

The right to die humanely is the single most under-regarded and under-valued aspect of life hygiene.

Fortunately some jurisdictions are death wise enough to provide humane means that we can request from a health practitioner.

That cuts both ways though, and I have quite direct knowledge of how this has been misused in really gross ways. But that said, I would still bias towards more freedom than less, and hope that we can get a handle on the more extreme cases.
