I was just sharing with my closed one today that living to the age of 100 in 2050 may no longer be a luxury. We agree that at this point in time, we don’t see why we want to live beyond 70-80. Why add further to the country’s medical expenses, and also deprive the world of further resources beyond what is necessary?

What if, at some point in the future – The concept of assisted suicide is made possible. An option where people can choose not to wait till “that day comes”, but rather make a proactive approach to end your life in a hassle-free and convenient way?

It’s ironic that I just came across this article unintentionally about the concept of assisted suicide in Sweden. It looks a pretty attractive option, especially for countries with aging population. I believe that there is a limit to how much developed country should continue to increase their average life expectancy, except for a select few who wants to live as long as they possibly could given the technologies available. What I’m thinking however, is that there’s an increasing number of people who has opt out of longevity beyond retirement age.
