"I demand death homes where everyone would have modern means of easy death at their disposal. Where you could die smoothly, not by throwing yourself in front of a train or hanging yourself on a doorknob. Where a tired, worn-out, finished man could surrender himself to the friendly arms of a specialist so that he could be assured of a death without torture and disgrace. Why not, I ask, why not? Who stops you from civilizing death?"
Witold Gombrowicz

January 1, 1970
