I read this article today and found it interesting in terms of someone who is suffering with a medical condition - albeit a mental one - is likely not be able to get medical assistance in dying - but if they had some incurable physical disease it might be a different story

My mom wound up living the last 7 or so years of her life with Alzheimer’s, dementia and had no real quality of life. She spent her days in a wheelchair parked in a common room with a tv on



I hope that in the next few years I’d be able to make arrangements to opt for MAID should I ever be diagnosed with some mentally debilitating like this
I have a friend who is an LPN at a home for seniors with severe dementia and Alzheimer's. Let me tell you, this sounds like no way to live out your final years.

Sorry for your loss.
