<chuckle> I was closer to that happening to me with middle age than i would like to belive.
Exploration that lead you to a place that has no way out by any means and you have nothing to do but starve yourself to death, or charge the nearest sharp brench got me to bad shape over time :/

As for deletion, i do not belive in suicide (of that form), if i am going down i go down biting and kicking.
Like i said, i actualy really like the idea of aging and dying, even if i hate losing a charecter name for ever, a bit short of a life term imho.
I just wanted to make sure that the middle age stat was the one responsible for the changes and not my wild immagination, from the help file i thought only the old age has affect.
Thanks for clearing that area.
