I would not. At some point this becomes agony, this is the reason I have a suicide plan in place for a long time alredy, despite being in perfect health.
It's not when you need it that you start googling around

FWIW, modern medicine is very good at making the pain go away, if you opt for it.
So much this. They gave my mom an effectively unlimited supply of opiates when the time called for it, and we convinced her that it was perfectly OK and good to use them. One need not suffer without help, unless that happens to be personally important to them. Like, I can imagine religious objections, maybe, or perhaps an addict who wants to “go out clean” knowing that they beat the cravings. But if those don’t apply, pain meds are good and plentiful now.
Oh, this is not only a question of pain. For me it is more that I would not be my self anymore.
People who put barriers for assisted suicide (like our politicians in France) are heartless bigots. Or did in other words - assholes.
