Yes. For example, although the patient might realize that many people in early stages of dementia have much in terms of quality of life, the patient might not want to live in certain situations. They may say, “When I am bedridden; when I can no longer feed, wash, and shave myself; when I have been unable to speak for a period of 30 days or more, at that point, please give me assistance to die.” They lay out objective, verifiable criteria. Then a doctor who chooses to do so—because doctors would always have the right of conscientious objection—would provide an assisted death.
The form, the paperwork, is a single-purpose document that is done ahead of time. It is subject to the same safeguards as a contemporaneous request, but the individual is able to be assisted to die at the end.
