memoir: the Death with Dignity era (plug §)

There's actually a lot more to be said here (about psychologically
preparing for the end, about better-prepared alternate worlds and the
profound silliness of the Asimov universe), but if I'm not immediately
sure how to say it, I think I'm OK with filling in the gap of this
TODO block (as forward progress towards a continuous ms. without gaps)
with the understanding that I can add more later if the structure
comes to me.
