Yes ... it's not the sort of thread that is likely to be most folks' "cup of tea"!

Tbh, though, my reasons for posting it here at all, were basically twofold:

1. Yesterday, it seemed to me there was an unsual dearth of posts generally, on the forum ... certainly of the sort that I felt inclined towards contributing my tuppenceworth to, at any rate.

2. And then, by chance, I happened to read a newspaper article on the aforementioned topic. Straightaway, it reminded me of an unusual conversation I had had with a widowed friend, recently - when he'd told me in no uncertain terms that, if ever the occasion were to arise where he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, he'd prefer to "end it all" while still compos mentis.

... hence my [rather morbid] choice of subject in this particular instance.
