＜20240326tue 尊厳死について思うこと - pdmk0830のブログ＞
以下でも、非常にセンシティブな内容でもあるので、私の思いを以下に横文字で記した。

『私が目指す、尊厳死 ≡ “ピンピンコロリ” ≒ “独立死”とする為に』
It is necessary to reconfirm what should be kept in mind for this purpose.
Basically, I will organize myself as much as possible so that my only daughter, who lives far away, will have as little trouble as possible, and at the same time, I will spend the rest of my life in a meaningful way, both physically and mentally.

The MUST condition：
I will maintain good health, at least until my wife's safe departure to the next life.
I should never die in an accident.
I absolutely must never cause an accident like the one in the previous article, “Accident [Nov. 10, 2023].”

The WANT conditions：
I will minimize during my lifetime the procedures that will remain after my death.
At the very least, I will take care of everything other than rituals, official procedures, inheritance procedures, etc. after my death.
・Preparation in advance of documents necessary for the procedures
・Preparation of asset list (inheritance list)
　　(transaction bank arrangement, stock trading termination, life insurance arrangement, etc.)
・Update of transaction-related URL addresses, IDs, and password information files (always)
・Thorough decluttering in the house
・Decluttering the warehouse (from my daughter's perspective)
　　(My wife thought most of my stuff was junk.)
　　(In particular, my wife judged the value of expensive reference books from my school days to be zero, so I threw away most of my books.^^)

Best case I want：
I believe that death at home in "PINPIN-KORORI" is a happy “Independent Death” for me and my family if I had prepared for it.
That is, there is little difference between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, and I live a long and healthy life without suffering much from illness or injury until just before I die.
I don‘t think an “Independent Death” is a pathetic thing.
Therefore, the key to avoiding “Independent Death”, such as being found months later, is for family members to keep a check on each other through social activities such as SNS.

Better case I want：
In the unfortunate event that I am hospitalized due to an illness such as cancer or an injury and there is no chance of recovery or I become unconscious,
I intend to declare in advance that I will refuse all life support, including intravenous drips, and will die a natural death with as much temporary, painless treatment as possible.

Even though my cognitive function is declining, I intend to spend my final days at home without going to a nursing home.

Until now, the sight of users waiting for their own death and their pathetic appearance in the nursing home made me feel sorry for them, so I strongly felt that I would end my life at my home even if my house is like a pig house.
I mean, an "independent death" is very welcome.

I intend to declare in my will that I will "spend my last days with the minimum necessary day care services" in order to avoid legal problems, ethical concerns, and other problems when I am no longer myself.

However, death at home will need to be checked by the police, and some complications will be inevitable.
I also need to consider measures to eliminate as much as possible the mental burden on my only daughter.

Most likely case：
If I were completely cognitively disabled and unable to live on my own, I would be legally and ethically compelled to go into a nursing home.
However, I intend to declare in advance (in my will) that I will refuse all life support equipment, including intravenous drips, even if I become unwell.

Rather, I hope that in the future Japan will allow euthanasia through fasting and refuse all medical treatment at the will of the person concerned.
It may take a few days of suffering, but I hope such a death with dignity.

After all, my ideal is to die an “Independent Death”.

But how will God guide me?
