My Dad is 93 and still going strong - healthy as can be, lives on his own, does his own shopping, etc. And no one else has to wipe his ass LOL. So for him, snapping wouldn't have been the right choice.
I am fortunate in that I don't need the money, but I would like to think I could have helped make a difference now with a few snaps rather than just living in a state I wouldn't want to be in. I think I might snap a few times...

Thanks for the perspective. I agree that it’s a highly nuanced consideration and the answer/action(s) would depend on the person’s vantage point (…
e.g…like your terminal condition example).
