No. I really don't think that I could live with myself, not with all of the people whom I would hurt. It's supremely selfish. Just like suicide. You're backing out of your problems and leaving everyone else to mourn you and deal with it all... If there was some way to make sure that they wouldn't tear themselves up over it, like, say, making it clear that I wasn't killed or abandoning them, that it was like I had simply transcended (which, in a way, would be true.) then I might, but even then... I would still leave too many things that I wouldn't want to trouble them with, not the least being my disappearance and subsequent not-being-there... Perhaps if I was old enough that I wouldn't really have been "taken too soon", and had time to prepare my affairs, then I would strongly lean towards it, but as is, no.
Interesting question though. Very thought provoking.
