My husband and I never really discussed it. But because of our shared religious beliefs, probably wouldn’t have decided on using medical assistance in dying. He developed Alzheimer’s and wasn’t the same person, but he lived apparently quite happily for a number of years. The first time he got pneumonia, the antibiotic worked, but the second time, when it didn’t, I declined to have him admitted to the hospital because he would be scared and hurt and not understand what was happening. And he died quickly. My overall takeaway from this, “When the time comes, you know.”
