I’m assuming you’d have the choice to end your life
And, further, you’ve asserted that you would choose to end it when certain conditions arose, which on your view are guaranteed to arise eventually. So your life would be predictably finite.
Of course, if you were stuck living forever, that would suck. Do you agree? Why or why not?
Generally, I prefer to have choices about things. That said, there are situations where I would willingly give up certain choices, including the choice to die. So it would depend on the situation.
But sure, all else being equal, I would rather have the choice to die.
That said, I’d also rather have the choice to live, which the current arrangement is pretty much guaranteed to deprive me of pretty soon.
Because situations might arise in which I preferred death to continued life, and in the absence of that choice I’d be unable to effect that preference. That said, situations might also arise in which I transiently chose to die despite an average preference to continue living, so it depends on what alternatives I have available. I can imagine options superior to my having this choice.

Why would it be bad to be unable to choose to stop living?
Because situations might arise in which I preferred death to continued life, and in the absence of that choice I’d be unable to effect that preference.
That said, situations might also arise in which I transiently chose to die despite an average preference to continue living, so it depends on what alternatives I have available. I can imagine options superior to my having this choice.
For example, it’s better to die than to be tortured forever.
