If you want to kill yourself, do it. Don't ask medical staff to do your dirty work for you. Besides, if you have greedy relatives, they are more than willing to push the envelope and get you knocked off.

You can't trust your family when it comes to money or inheritance. You really can't.

The same advice applies to disabled people.
