Is it normal that i want to die from the bubonic plague?

I know it's not around much anymore but I honestly want to contract it and die from that when I'm in my 40s or 50s. I want to die from the Bubonic Plague because I don't want to die from old age and I don't want to resort to suicide just so I won't die old. As bad as it may seem, there's nothing wrong with suicide I just want to die from the Bubonic Plague instead because I can make my death look more unintentional than tentional. That and my method of wanting to off myself could fail and I'd be locked up for the rest of my life under Suicide Watch. No, I'm not depressed (I'm actually happy with my life) and there's nothing wrong with wanting to die before old age (Why should I allow myself to slowly deteriorate in my 60s+ and become completely helpless stuck in a nursing home?). Why the Bubonic plague? Because if I'm going to die of an illness, it might as well be a horrible, very fatal one and I think that me dying from the Bubonic plague would be the best way for me to go. I can assure you that this is in no way, shape, or form a troll post and I am being completely serious.

    According to what I just read on Wikipedia (which is strongly suspect is more research that YOU did) plague is only about 50% fatal without treatment.

    May I recommend rabies instead?

    As I've said to others who post similar shit;
    I'm 66, sailing around the Caribbean with my 25 year old girlfriend and having a blast. Should I have killed myself when I turned 60?
    Of course, I'm not as agile as I used to be, I ache when I get up some mornings and my hair, though still there, is white as snow, but hey, things could be worse.
    Get a grip, dummy; life is a gift, enjoy it, all of it.

      Of course,"

      p.s to the author of the post- what about the fact that you would spread that disease to a ton of other people. thats really selfish.

    When you are 50 you will probably notice that you haven't changed as much as you thought. There are people living beyond their 90 who are still mentally fit and happy. If you're life isn't worth living in the body of a 60 year old then what makes it worth living right now?

    Bubonic Plague and Rabies are both very unpleasant deaths, slow and painful.
    I suggest you involve yourself in a 'Drug deal gone wrong' type scenario, and get your head blown off, or start an argument with your local violent biker gang, perhaps reverse your car over their bikes, that does work.

    Should you have a penchant for the renaissance I suggest a duel.

    I bet this guy would survive a zombie apocalypse.

    It always seems that the ones who want to die the most end up surviving.

    Bubonic plague is rarely deadly now in developed countries, and rarely found. You're a stupid person.

    I think the whole reasoning behind this makes sense, but I just question why the bubonic plague, and why pain. That, to me, is the only 'abnormal' part about this.

    No, not normal. Wanting to *not prolong the end of your life because of hypothetical suffering should be no reason to end your life early by cruel and intense suffering.
    However, let's play this out. If you acquire the Plague, you'd have to be alone, or someone will notice and get you assistance. This is not the 1300's, Bubonic Plague is treatable. If you;re alone, noone else would catch it (in theory), but you would perish alone, scared, and in agony. This sounds awful.

    Much better to blow your brains out with a sawn off Shotgun! The last thing you would ever experience would be the pressure of the trigger on your finger then,,,,,, nothingness! Just like before you was born.
