[quote=Anonymous]It's actually not true that you change so much that you can't be proactive.  The problem is denial.  So people want to gloss over the early, early symptoms and then very few follow through.  In the Netherlands only 100 out of 45K with Alzheimer's choose medical aid in dying in any given year.  In Switzerland they say it's only "well educated, very determined people who have planned for years."

We had a woman here in Canada, a psychologist who also documented her slide.  She again was extremely self-aware and the period of competency for subtle changes lasts in years, not months.  She documented her thoughts on www.deadatnoon.com.  Most people are selfish or afraid and just don't want to think about it so ignore those early signs.

I do the SAGE test from the University of Ohio every six months and I am 100% certain that I will catch the window and follow through.  I'm not throwing away a lifetime of assets on care and I refuse to dump on the low-status women care workers who are stuck doing this awful job.  [/quote]
