Doctor-assisted suicide ban to be appealed in B.C.

[wordpix]

17. family members do not want to be part of that

Trust me, my mom is 88+ with advanced Alzheimer's. If someone gave me a mask to put over her face, I wouldn't be able to do it, even though she could die any day now, has run through almost all her money, and her quality of life is not good. She is still dear old mom to me, although she is not who she used to be. Now if she had arranged physician-assisted suicide when she was in her right mind, I could sit by her side for that.

This drip, drip, drip of an Alzheimer's patient losing her mind along with the infirmity of old age is a terrible thing to witness year after year. Although the final goodbye is coming soon, I still would not be able to hasten it for my mother.

I definitely need to make a living will to ensure I get PAS if I get Alzheimer's. The question is, at what point would I want to be put under? You just can't choose your time unless you're mentally competent.
