Should People with Dementia be Able to Die with Dignity?
|
Q. During a conversation the other night, my father said that if he was ever diagnosed with dementia that he wouldn’t want to live that way or burden the family. I know that Death with Dignity is legal in a growing number of states, but
can people with dementia choose physician-assisted death in those states? I’ve read that there are all kinds of obstacles people have to overcome when they are near death to get this done, and that people with dementia can’t complete those steps. Can you elaborate?

Critter Corner: Are Swearing, Bad Parking, and Being Overly Generous Signs of Alzheimer’s?
|
Dear Angel,
I heard recently that swearing, bad parking, and being overly generous, among other things, are all possible signs of Alzheimer’s. This is particularly scary, because my husband and I do all these things sometimes. Is this true and if so, are there reputable studies to back it up?
Thanks for your help,
Jenna Russ-Badparker
