I feel that way too.

I was reflecting today that I can't imagine being more afraid of death than of living with no dignity, no significant quality of life. I can't see myself undergoing that stress to live another few months.

But then I generally try the most expensive and experimental treatments for my terminally ill dogs to eke out a few *good* months of life. I'll baby, coax, and will them through crisis points, if there is a good chance at good quality extra time. Maybe it's easier to make that decision for ourselves than it it to make it for loved ones. Or maybe it's just easier to make it theoretically. Even if loss is inevitable, maybe it's natural to try to delay it as far as possible.
