By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

I advocate for it in certain cases, but I question the motivation here, and I think it's absurd to set a timeframe. That was written in 2014-wonder how he feels about it now?
I have to laugh at the 75 years cut off that any person BELOW that age would make. One who wishes to go at 70, 75, 80, often has a whole new perspective when they actually are THERE. I am 80, so I guarantee that. You know you have all these aches and pains and "issues" but you "feel" younger in your mind. And often aren't ready to swallow down that elixir.
l think we should check in with the oncologist when she/he is 75.
My mom developed dementia later in her life. Yeah, Parkinson’s disease is dreadful.
My husband’s great grandmother lived to be just shy of 102! No health issues, had all of her faculties, no meds other than Tylenol for an occasional headache. No cane or walker!
She grew up on a farm. She married and gave birth to 12 children. She outlived some of her kids and all but one of her siblings.
We threw a huge party for her when she turned 100! We hired a band and she was dancing along with the music. She was still cooking until her late 90’s! We should all be so lucky in life to be this healthy, right?
My great aunts lived to be in their late 90’s, still volunteering in their communities, making fruit cakes to give for the holidays and so on. They lived wonderful lives.
My mom, on the other hand who lived to be 95 would have loved to have died sooner. She suffered with Parkinson’s disease and was ready to die much earlier than she did.
After watching my mother suffer for so long, I definitely don’t want to live an extremely long life unless I am in good health.
I wish we had euthanasia in our state. Change is slow. I wish it was available in all fifty states.
I am 80 and pretty good still, independent, on my feet, and enjoying life, but I am also very ready to go, and I would certainly avail myself of such a mode were I able at a point I could not live independently and with my faculties, physical and mental.
Just an opinion.
I managed to get about 1/2 way through his article and quit reading. It was a bit too morbid (and boring) for my tastes. I hope the author 'lives to 75' as he wishes, and doesn't find himself in TRUE need of physician assisted suicide, huh?
