Aubrey Welsh is 69, and will not see his 70th birthday. In September, he will voluntarily stop eating and drinking with the goal of ending his life. He does not have a terminal illness, is not mentally unwell, and does not live in pain. He simply believes he's done everything he's wanted to do - his life is "complete".
