Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman's Final Choice

• Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Laureate and acclaimed psychologist, chose to end his own life, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
• Just before his death in March last year, Kahneman emailed friends stating his decision was based on long-held beliefs about the miseries of old age.
• Kahneman's death occurred at an assisted-suicide facility in Switzerland, with close friends and family aware of his choice.
• His groundbreaking research challenged the traditional notions of human rationality, emphasizing that people are human rather than strictly rational or irrational.
• Friends and family respected his choice, acknowledging it was personal and not a broader endorsement of assisted suicide.
