Given the choice, I would rather die quickly at home from a heart attack than sit slumped in an armchair in front of a television in a care home for years.
Oh yes, the problem is that we are rarely given the choice. I hope the new impetus behind assisted suicide is successful SOON!
I can't see "I don't want to live a half life in a care home tended by badly paid staff, without my books," as being acceptable in law as a valid reason for assisted suicide.
But it SHOULD be.

"A BP difference between the left and right arms—even when large—is statistically a normal variant and need not necessarily cause concern. When the disparity is persistent, however, the arm with the higher pressure should be used for all subsequent BP measurements."

Wow Artificial intelligence is just so cool.
