She took her life as dementia was taking over body, she likely wouldn't be able to once it fully set it, she's just be existing and knowing nothing for years. Plus, the point of doctor assisted suicide is to allow people with terminal illness to die with dignity.
So basically a senior citizen doesn't have to toss a rope around a bar or attempt to overdose on medication and have their family find them like that. Instead, this will allow their life to end with dignity at the hospital.
