I just read an online article about a guy wanting to die at 75.
He has a lot of nice ideas about why he wants to die at 75. One of them being that he does not want to burden others-kids or siblings-with taking care of him or his illnesses.
A very good reason is that he wants to be remembered as an active, independent, healthy person rather than an invalid or chronically ill patient.
He is not going to kill himself at 75, but he has opted out of medical tests (which I think is a great idea at any age unless it's a must), and any expensive treatment that will prolong his life but may not give him back his active life.
Even if you don't want to die at 75, his fundas about planning your final years are worth a read. Here is the link-
