Hi,
I'm sorry you are going through Alzheimer's. That must be hard on you. I understand your concerns. However in considering physician assisted suicide, you may be wasting your money. Only God decides who and when one dies. If it isn't your time, you won't die. That's just the way it is and always has been. I would suggest that you discuss all of this with God and ask for his guidance. Just talk to him like he's your best friend and he is! I will say a prayer for you.
I wish you the best.
PML

Although I appreciate that you have a deeply held belief, this is not the place to insist that yours is the only belief with value. I would never try to dissuade you from following your value system but would encourage you not to discount someone else's beliefs and values. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your response. I didn't mean to imply that I have Alzheimer's. Two years ago I got a concussion and am having problems from that -- one of which is memory. My maternal grandmother and one of her daughters (she had 5, plus 7 boys) got Alzheimer's. My parents didn't live long enough for Alzheimer's to be a question. I just want to make sure I don't have to live as a zombie for years, using up my small estate (my daughter is autistic & it could help her a lot).
