Advocates of PAS in dementia could credibly respond to the three preceding sections by suggesting that the practice should be confined to patients with severe or terminal dementia, where the patients life expectancy is already low and there is little or no scope for improvement (Mondragn et al., 2020). His paper is a response to the argument that assisted dying should not be denied to the marginalized groups because this represents a form of paternalism. His analysis is based on the fact that paradoxically, rich male individuals in developed countries, who are considered to have greater social power and autonomy, may be equally or even more vulnerable to the threats posed by liberal access to euthanasia or PAS because of culturally conditioned social messages that are peculiar to Western countries.

Would we rather lose our life than lose our self? A recent systematic review of attitudes towards PAS across five world religions found largely negative attitudes in Islamic respondents, variable responses in Christian and Jewish respondents, and limited acceptance in Buddhist respondents. However, a survey of individuals with elevated amyloid-beta, a putative biomarker for Alzheimers risk, found that only 20% of respondents would consider PAS in this context, suggesting that there is a mismatch between the theoretical values espoused in the literature and the actual wishes of patients in this context (Largent et al., 2019). Some of these symptoms may be associated with particular causes or subtypes of dementia: for example, depression and apathy are common in vascular dementia (Tiel et al., 2015) while hallucinations are common in dementia with Lewy bodies (Borroni et al., 2008).

Physician-assisted suicide laws in Oregon and Washington require the person's current competency and a prognosis of terminal illness. The results of these surveys suggests that significant conflicts of interest could arise in this setting; though the Schuurmans et al.

(2021). 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.
