Yes, I'm okay with quick death when young and single...but I'd hate to waste away for months or years old and alone. That's pretty brutal. Reminds me of that true story of the hospital with the cat that lived in it. He had a very accurate 6th sense about when someone would die soon. The cat would goto that person's room, leap into their beds and lie with them for awhile if that person was alone and was about to pass on.
Here's the article from the New England Journal of Medicine
