Right-to-die advocates are dreaming up ever-more grotesque ways of killing ourselves.
You may have heard of advance directives, also known as living wills. They are advance instructions to refuse treatment issued to doctors and carers by very ill people who expect to find themselves unable to communicate when the time comes.

After all, they are not currently legally enforceable in most jurisdictions.
