Because this horrible disease called dementia is more and more prevalent, I'm just wondering why we can't choose in our health directive while we are healthy and of sound mind to choose end of life medical assistance if we ourselves ever get to what I would call a "terminal" state of dementia - because we've all seen the progression and it is so sad to see someone go on and on for years not being able to function at the most basic levels and not knowing who they are or their family, and as we all know, it ain't gonna ever get better. Then, ending up in a wheelchair in a total daze for months, or years before they pass on. I'm wondering if maybe somewhere inside all that blankness they just want to move on... this may sound harsh but I'm talking for myself here.
