[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, we need euthanasia for people with dementia. [/quote]

People with dementia can’t consent to that. [/quote]

We need a system where you can authorize medical aid in dying /euthanasia before you become incapacitated. I would 100% sign that form watching my mother and aunt suffer from dementia.

She was a registered nurse and asumir she wanted a DNR. No way would she want to live like this. She had a pet scan and you can clearly see her brain has atrophied. [/quote]
I'm trying to figure out how to do that for myself in case I follow the 3 maternal generations before me and also get dementia.

I just talked to my 85yo mother who is now in mid-level dementia. When she heard my name, she still knew I was her daughter. However she described her vegetable garden to me, and how they have pots and wire around them to keep the animals out. I asked what vegetables she was growing and her sister overheard us and said we aren't growing vegetables this year. She lives close (20 yards) to her sister and thinks her sister is a camp director. She wakes up at night, doesn't recognize her husband and stumbles over in the dark to tell her sister there is a strange man in her bed.

If I get to this point, please allow me to exit legally. The trick is if you want to handle matters, at what point prior to this is the signal that if you don't act now, it will soon be too late?[/quote]
