ALZHEIMER`S– IS THE PROBLEM FOR ASSISTED SUICIDE
When a person is in constant pain, with no medical help possible, either in the future or immediately, assisted suicide is indicated. When a person is old with a chronic debilitating disease, and is of sound mind, assisted suicide is indicated. In both these medical situations not having a mental illness like Alzheimer’s makes it easy to make a decision .
Suppose a person when young, put in their will, that if they get Alzheimer`s they want to be assisted in suicide. As they get older the family puts him or her in a nursing home and would you believe they thrive there. They interact and thrive, do not recognize their family but do not create problems for the staff, themselves, or other sick patients. They should not be assisted in suicide. Let them live out their lives. But if they are creating problems for all concerned, and they had requested suicide, help them do it.
Mental illness creates problems in knowing when to take action. There is another situation which requires a great deal of intense inspection. Who benefits from the death by assisted suicide? Make sure that the beneficiaries of the person assisted, are not interested in death for private gain. Life is complicated, creating a death even more so.
