Were you answering your own question there?
Lmao
I want to have choice over when I die.
So if I break into your house and try to kill you, would you be an egomaniac to resist? If you get a heart attack and if you rush to the hospital to get yourself treated, are you an egomaniac?
TIL what a DNR is.

I thought DNR is some lesser known brand of gun in case someone breaks into your house.

I think the goal here is not properly defined.
A human is just a #brain , with a #body attached to it. The question is, how to keep this body healthy, so that our mind lives longer too.
Actually, if we have the ability to properly separate body from brain, do you know that our brain can live forever ?
So your proposal is transhumanism. Replacing the human body with something different. This is a very interesting discussion for futurology, but I am unaware of any advances in this field.
