Many people who die “of old age” have an utterly miserable time of it at the end, sometimes for months or years. Medical treatment to keep a person alive when they’ve already lost their faculties irrecoverably can be incredibly cruel.

There’s no such thing as dying of old age. Just dying of something where you’re old enough where people go “yeah that tracks” instead of “oh no! so young!”.
