Some people will be perfectly happy playing with their jigsaw puzzles all day long while others need excitement. Some people will be happy on their own, while others get depressed if they don't have other people (their family for example) around them. Some people like to travel while for others merely the idea of leaving their home town is enough to cause them a lot of stress. What's relaxing for one person, another one will find boring. etc.

There's no way to measure people's "level of happiness" or "the quality of their life".
There's no way for you or I to measure another human being's quality of life or, more specifically, the level of their despair.

But they sure as hell can.

Everyone should be required to make their wishes known regarding such while they're still of sound mind.

This would eliminate the need for guessing and second guessing later on.
