I've got an appointment with a long term care insurance agent in a couple of weeks. The problem with wishing one's own death upon the prospects of nursing care is that it's possible you may not be in a condition to carry out the plan when the need arises. Family members are typically very reluctant to off a family member in that situation. PBS Frontline had a show on it a couple of weeks ago. Some family members were willing but the unwilling always trumped the willing in discussions with doctors.
