This was the experience for my mother. I know that when she was competent she wouldn't have chosen MAID, and that idea would be too hard for her to contemplate. But, when things went downhill for her, I have no doubt that she would've wanted MAID if she had been able to make that decision.
I don't know what the solution is there. It might be more humane, but at the same time you have people who would try to take advantage of this, if it were too readily available.
