FOIA Requests for PAS in patients with dementia have been gradually increasing in countries where assisted dying is legal: a recent survey of Dutch general practitioners found that nearly 42% had received such requests from patients or relatives (Schuurmans et al., 2021). Patients with severe dementia are categorically excluded from eligibility on all of the above grounds. The authors argue that both contemporaneous and (most) non-contemporaneous decisions for VSED are legally permissible and do not, as many believe, constitute abuse, neglect, or assisted suicide.

It is of course possible that Krags argument would be more applicable to developed and industrialized nations, while concerns related to misuse of PAS in vulnerable groups may be more applicable in lower-income nations with greater economic inequality and resource scarcity. It has already been noted that, paradoxically, approval of PAS in cases such as dementia is higher in high-income countries. doi:10.1503/cmaj.160650, Tran, M., Honarmand, K., Sibbald, R., Priestap, F., Oczkowski, S., and Ball, I.

Further, it is argued that since informed consent may be impossible once this disintegration has occurred, such an option should not be restricted only to advanced cases (Cipriani and Di Fiorino, 2019), and should be included in advance directives (Menzel and Steinbock, 2013) under the principle of precedent autonomy (Groves, 2006).

However, a survey of individuals with elevated amyloid-beta, a putative biomarker for Alzheimers risk, found that only 20% of respondents would consider PAS in this context, suggesting that there is a mismatch between the theoretical values espoused in the literature and the actual wishes of patients in this context (Largent et al., 2019).

WebPhysicianassisted suicide laws in Oregon and Washington require the person's current competency and a prognosis of terminal illness. Diagnosis of Alzheimers disease alone is not an indication of incompetence. Physician-assisted suicide occurs when a physician provides a medical means for death, usually a prescription for a lethal amount of medication that the patient takes on his or her own. (2020). Am. These four considerations are not purely theoretical, as can be seen from the results of the surveys discussed earlier, which indicate marked ambivalence regarding PAS on the part of both healthcare professionals and elderly individuals themselves (Dening et al., 2013; Bolt et al., 2015; Schuurmans et al., 2021).

Many people assume their loved ones will know what to do when the time comes, but data show few Americans have had detailed conversations about their wishes for end-of-life care. We argue that in many cases they should be, and that a sliding scale which considers both autonomy and the capacity for enjoyment provides the best justification for determining when: when written by a previously well-informed and competent person, such a directive gains in authority as the later person's capacities to generate new critical interests and to enjoy life decrease. 2004 Oct;30(5):447-51; discussion 451-2. doi: 10.1136/jme.2002.002857. 36, E262E283.

Fifth, there are certain dangers in relying on an advance directive in such cases, because an individuals wishes may vary over time: a patient with early dementia might express a wish for PAS due to psychosocial factors (such as depression or economic hardship) at one point in time, but express a different attitude if such problems are ameliorated (Dcruz, 2021). 33, 13941399.

The requirement of contemporary competence is intended to ensure that PAD is limited to people who really want to die and have the cognitive ability to make a final choice of such enormous import.
