Look at facts. The vast majority of the elderly die of their health and not suicide.
Annecdotally, my grandfather, 102 years old, is a bit senile at this point yet still chases women, sings whenever he likes, and is generally an upbeat fellow. My wife has late stage Huntington's Disease and yet still enjoys simple pleasures. I share a dread future with my wife yet I am still here as well.
Happiness can be found in the most desperate of conditions.
Despite DNRs and such, there are many and simple ways to end our own lives. And, yet, the vast majority live them to the end.
Take this conversation, set it aside for 20 years, then tell me how you feel. I suspect the combination of marriage and children will change your outlook.
