I love Terry as an author, I would fear losing my own mind, I can't really comprehend the creeping decline he is experiencing.
His assistant looked somewhat unconvinced about the whole thing.
I think a huge consideration is how well you can keep your wits about you. That one man in the hospice still had the map of London in his head.
On the other hand, once Alzheimer's takes its toll you become a different person, you forget who you were. Are you unhappy then, does that new person want to die?
Thanks for sharing, and best of luck to you terry.
