This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't really understand DNR. Why not get medically assisted suicide? Or heck, just end your own life?

Seems better than dying a painful, gradual death as your organs shut down from cancer or something.

Life insurance might not pay out for suicides. If he has family or anyone else mentioned in his policy he may not want to jeopardise that. No idea if that applies to OP's neighbour, but it's one potential reason.

Man, money matters further complicating literal life-and-death situations. I hate this.
