So since I was last here in SW, I got a new MRI
Proof that my incurable and untreatable illness has progressed.
What do you all think about euthanasia in my circumstance?

@BackyardShaman Yes! But the crazies call that murder. It isn't. It is compassion and kindness, like what we do for our animals, but society doesn't do for us.
But "last days" is the kink in your position, no offense intended.

Maybe a better description than last days is on hospice, unable to eat walk or think, in serious pain all the time and on heavy pain meds.@FlowersNButterflies

@BackyardShaman Does not work that way in dementia. No doctor can affirm an expected time of death. In my illness, we can survive miserably for years in a most horrifying state of existence without hope.
Something like cancer is more easily understood - a cancer patient exhausts all possible treatments, and then the doctors know the person will die soon, as the disease is so documented. Then they are willing to help a person die.
