Well I don't know how this dude Pratchett manages to have a fucking website and a life and do interviews, because the people I've met with Alzheimers are zombies. They have absolutely no recollection of ANYTHING in their past. Their brains are wiped clean, they look right through you, they are the living dead!

This Pratchett sounds like he's got, "Thespians Alzheimers" defined as, "A condtion that effects those in the world of art and theatre, which renders them into a state of eccentricity, with short bursts of memory loss, which can be suddenly reaquired in the event of a phone call from an agent or fellow Thespian. Strangely it is a condition that does not effect the suffer's ability to make money and attend dinner parties, during which they are liable to relapse into uncontrolled bouts of eccentricity and memory loss, particularly after a bottle or two of Cheval Blanc 2001!"

They don`t wanna do that though, they want someone else to do it for them. Why should someone else carrying the shit for ending their life.
Whats stopping Pratchet eating a bullet now? Or organising his death now. Kill yourself fine, just don`t burden other people with killing you

Jim, it sounds a bit like selective amnesia to me.

Well... topping yourself is a horrible experience for all involved and thats if it works of course and then theres also the falllout from those lef tbehind wondering if i did enough to stop them.

being able to go to a approved centre enshrined in law where all those involved are under the eyes of the law and so everyone knows that this is what the person wnats and of course they will be able to leave in dignity.

I imagine (expect) there would counselling before and after for everyone to make sure this is what they wnat and for those left behind afterwards

Your logic also applies to hospices," whats the point of them their dying anyway let em do it at home."
it would free up.
When you've seen the lumps of flesh that are jokingly referred to as human and the amount of resources wasted keeping them living think also of how much money etc
