This week, the Wall Street Journal notes that dementia directives are gaining popularity to detail medical and end-of-life care wishes for individuals with dementia.
The article notes that some of these directives include a "section on nutritional support during the stages of dementia." I collect more a dozen of these dementia directives here.
If you lose the capacity to understand your own directives, a judge could easily nullify them and place you in a non-secular nursing home, claiming that the person you are now no longer wishes to abide by them, since you're no longer aware of them.
