The fact that I'm here pounding these keys does imply I'm with the majority on this one.

Unless you're suicidal I think there's really only one correct answer to your question.

I'm guessing @InnocentBystander is a miserable liar: when the day comes and they need diapers, they will probably keep choosing to die some other day, just like all the other people who use diapers continue to choose to die some other day.

If I told you that I am young now, and in 10 years I will be old so I prefer to kill myself then, would you believe me? Does it have any meaning at all if 10 years ago I wanted to die today, but today I clearly don't?

Are you contemplating suicide?

I'm not miserable.
I'm a happy liar.

Actually, I stand behind my answer. I did not say I would take my life at that point. I said that is when I would want to go. If/when I get to that point, I'll likely strap on the diapers and continue forward like most. But academically speaking, if there is a good time to go, that is the one that I think is best.

You keep talking about choice, but there's not really a choice being made. Suicide is always on the list of options, but very few would do it.

Waking up the next day isn't really a choice, it's just something that happens. "Well, I didn't die yesterday. We'll see what happens today." If you could will yourself dead by choice many of us that have been through depression would have died long ago, but it simply doesn't work that way.
