I agree, although it is hard on the loved ones.

I believe that in an ideal world we would all have two weeks notice. Enough time to say the neccessary "I love you"s and "I'm Sorry"s. Enough time to say, "I am finally going to jump out of that airplane/dive the blue hole/see Tibet" . Not so much time that life becomes sitting around, waiting for it to happen, suffering through treatments that leave you with quality of life that is worse than being dead.
