checking out on your terms as opposed to waiting for the disease to wreck havoc is what comes to mind in regard to "dieing with dignity". It's legal in some places in Europe, there are hospitals where the terminally ill person can go and is given medication to end their life
Naturally there are people who think death happens to everyone but them, and live in denial, guess it depends on one's values.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross came up with the 5 stages of grief after interviewing thousands of terminally ill patients - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Some just never get to the acceptance stage and really how many out there can claim they're ready for the lights to go out, especially if they have a short notice so to speak
