[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone thinks they would end it but when you are getting dementia you don’t have a good sense of how you are doing. And there is still a lot of quality life left at that point that you would forfeit. [/quote]

Once the dementia hits, you don't have the ability to end your life.[/quote]

I am going to say once I hit x or below on the cognitive test I want it to be over.  Hopefully there is a lawyer who could do this. Anybody know of something like this?[/quote]

No, but if you have a spouse or close friend or relative whom you can trust with your life (literally), you can have a conversation about this ahead of time and ensure that you go out on your terms. It's up to you to procure the supplies, which isn't hard if you do some research, but it will be up to them to put everything within your reach and make sure you actually do it when you get to that point.

My dad asked me to do this. He said the moment he can't wipe his own butt he's out. But he said ideally he'd just like to point his boat at a hurricane and die on it. [/quote]

Yep. I'd head far out and jump in.  Maybe drunk or on scrips.[/quote]
