Oh yeah. Granted, I've been suicidal for a good portion of my life, first beginning at age 7, but fuck, even if I never was suicidal a day in my life, if I get to be that old, I'm offing myself for sure.
Firstly, everything that would have made life worth living such as people you love, they'd be gone.
Secondly, you'd most likely be in poor health, and frail, making it difficult to do shit you like/love to do, and I'm willing to bet, the desire to do such things vs. the pain in the ass it would be to do such things wouldn't even out to doing those things, even things that aren't terribly physically demanding, or crazy, like, IDK... traveling. Just the time and effort, and hassle would kill someone that old, and that's just going to walmart to shop, or maybe visiting not-your-relatives on an hour or two car ride. You'd be reduced to watching TV all day and doing drugs... which is what a lot of people on here and IRL do anyway, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad for most people... but for me, it'd be fucking hell.
Thirdly, you'd likely be very dependent on other people and/or drugs/medical devices, which that would really suck. I'm not keen on someone else whipping my ass.
