Petition Introduce a living will the right to die if diagnose of Alzheimer or dementia
I am 75 years of age and I am in good health and sound of mind. I don't want to end my days where I don't know family and friends and I can't do anything for myself ie speak, wash, walk or feed myself. So
I therefore want the right to die when two doctors say that I have no quality of life
More details
I have friends and relatives that have either Alzheimer's or dementia. They don't know anybody, they can't feed themselves or wash or go the toilet and some can't even speak.They are just waiting to die, some of them have been like this for more than two years. In the early stages I was told by some of them that they wanted this option and die with dignity
there is no cure for these illnesses
