"I'd rather be brutally raped and tortured for months (or years, doesn't matter) before finally being murdered than reach old age and die an old woman."
No.
No you wouldn't. I guarantee you wouldn't.
Most of the people I know who have this "I'd rather die than grow old" mentality grow out of it.
Of course, being immobile, incontinent, senile and weak is a bleak situation to be in. But plenty of people get to 80 and have healthy, fulfilling lives. Children / grand children they love, hobbies they can spend all their time on, a husband/wife they adore, life-long friends, amazing stories to tell. And no lifetime is long enough to learn everything or experience everything, which means there's always the chance to try something new.
You're in control of your own life, and if you think it's worth so little beyond a certain fairly arbitrary age, then you go ahead and end it. But instead of contemplating the way you want to splash your brain and skull matter across the wall, you could spend time on thinking about how you could ensure your life is as gratifying as possible even when you're old and grey.
Is it normal that I want to die playing Russian Roulette?

Just a thought.
