[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Information is not entirely clear. Incurable could mean terminal, and terminal can mean soon or a long time from now. There is a family that has been the subject of a lot of Alzheimer's research because it is a particular inherited type of early onset Alzheimer's that can be tested for but couldn't in the early generations (going back to the 1920s or so iirc). Before the cause was known, several generations had their families first torn apart because of a parent who became extremely mentally unstable and often turned to alcohol before dying at a relatively young age, only to gradually see siblings suffer the same fate. In one fmaily, one sibling out of seven was free the genetic inheritance.

If someone has an incurable disease that is also terminal on some time scale, if they wait too long they will be ineligible to use assisted suicide. They have to be physically able to administer medication themselves as well as be able to make the legal decision to go ahead at the time they do it. [/quote]

It's not a terminal disease.[/quote]
