It is legal for people suffering from dementia to get euthanasia under very strict conditions. The Dutch board of Attorney Generals decided to stop prosecuting a doctor who helped a patient with Alzheimer disease with suicide.
The board stated that Alzheimer itself is not an indication to carry out euthanasia, unless a doctor can come up with a well-founded case were a patient suffers psychologically and the situation is unbearable and hopeless.
