Because there is so much interest in this topic by my readers I thought I would share information I come across here as well as my blog posts. I have had so many people with dementia and Alzheimer’s contact me about this that I thought it’s best for me to just document and update my findings here. It is very sad that there are so many people living with cognitive diseases who are planning to end their own lives without the assistance of medical aid in dying which is not allowed in the U.S. for people with cognitive diseases.
