The risk of terminal illness is a key reason why I keep a firearm handy, granted I likely won't need it for 50+ years. I've seen my family members die like rats on a table, squirming in fear and pain as the doctors try to extend their lives for an extra week or less of misery. It wouldn't change my behavior in the meantime, but once I started becoming too weak to defend myself I'd cut it short and save everyone the trouble. I'd want to know so I knew what was happening when I started becoming weak.
