I'm not suicidal, I'm very happy, as a matter of fact, I'm too happy. I've seen every old person in my life suffer excruciatingly in a hospital because of some pathetic reason that they won't let them die peacefully as it is considered wrong. Recently my grandma was denied food for 5 days before she finally passed away and was eating sleeping pills like candy in the hospital. It's disgusting the way they let old people die.
I want to know, because if the time comes that me or my wife are in a hospital and ready to die. If the time is right and we are both old enough(75+) and our children are grown up and on their own. We can make the choice that we desire, and our family will respect our wishes and understand. It is selfish to want to keep a miserable old person who is alone and suffering alive just so you can visit them in the hospital every sunday to make yourself feel better.
Even though this is still a 40 year possibility in the future, what is the quickest, easiest way?

Let me add, I'd rather it not be bloody. Something peaceful on a yacht is what we would prefer. I'd rather not have to endure seeing her doing something..graphic, and vice versa. We aren't into drugs so we don't know what kind of drug could do something quick and painlessly. Cyanide? Anyways, ignorant in that subject, obviously.
