Well, my Grandmother at 95 didn't "want" to die, but she didn't want to live the way she was living- basically gasping for breath. But she really really didn't want to die. My dad, after his open heart surgery went bad- didn't want any more treatment- he was tired of the millions of invasive things they were doing to him- but he didn't "WANT" to die- he wanted another option- something other then pain or death. I haven't know anyone- push come to shove- who went willingly. I suppose some people went unconsciously- like my grandmother who died in her sleep. But that doesn't really count. I don't count choosing the lesser of two evils as "wanting". And I've never met anyone who said - "Oh boy HOWDY, I just can't WAIT to die!" Those folks might be out there- I just haven't met them.
