In dementia, economically-driven systemic decisions appear to act as a barrier to the provision of other specific forms of care, such as nursing interventions (Karrer et al., 2020) and may lead to the excessive use of other forms of treatment, such as typical antipsychotics (Stakiaitis et al., 2019) and feeding tubes (Finucane et al., 2007), based on cost considerations rather than evidence. 2 0 obj

There has been an increasing drive towards the legalization of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) in patients with dementia, particularly in patients with advanced disease and severe cognitive impairment. Appointing a legal guardian for specific tasks, such as financial affairs, might allow a person with Alzheimers disease to maintain a degree of independence over other matters. It has also been noted that, in some cases, those belonging to a higher socio-economic stratum may also be overrepresented among those opting for PAS, again suggesting that simple linear arguments based on caregiver costs do not tell the entire story (Krag, 2014).

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).

A recent systematic review of studies of older adults underlined this lack of consensus, with only a minority consistently expressing acceptance of PAS, and a significant influence of age, religiosity, education and socio-economic status (Castelli Dransart et al., 2021).
