So in other words, if you want to die right, have it written down with independent witnesses on what you want to experience before you go, and how you want to go.
Fuck the "death paneeeeeel!!" haters, i too will go when i want in my way, and there is shit all I'll allow them to do about it.
I know that there are open questions about this event, but as this was a long term couple, I want to imagine they trusted each other and cared for what the other was going through
Edit: adding to this; If I had to choose between slowly withering away in a nursing home, alone, or have her ending, I knowmy choice. Again, this woman may not have wanted the same, or maybe she did, we don't know, but this looks and sounds like a husband who wanted his wife to be happy. As unhinged as he (and likely she) were.
