Your mind. It's the only thing you truly have. It makes you You.

What if yours was taken from you, by dementia or alzheimers? What would you do, if you could do something before it happened?

If, as a matter of fact, my mind was unravelling, I would put the business end of my coach gun against my forehead and 'push' both triggers.

Can't see any profit for me or my loved ones in my lingerin' as a dependent echo.

How do you remove the subject from your replies? It is equally annoying and intriguing!

There is a subject line above the text window when writing a post. Simply edit the subject line, or remove all characters in it.

Just switching back to the original subject

Carefull now. It is a sociopathic trait to project blame onto ones peers

Suicide is the obvious choice - as long as you have the cognitive and physical ability to make it.
Once past that point - for example, in case of stroke or injury, where the damage comes on suddenly - it's up to others. Where possible (and legal), it's a good idea to have contingency plans in place with a trusted friend, relative or care-giver.

A bullet seems like an easy and quick solution, but what if one lives in a country, where firearms are very difficult to obtain?

The good news is, countries with advanced law-enforcement tend also to have tall buildings, sleeping pills, plastic bags and cars.
Countries that lack those amenities tend to have plenty of firearms, courtesy of the countries that do have amenities.
Or, I suppose you could go out in the woods and piss off a bear or tiger. Farther north, they still have a few unoccupied ice-floes.
