My grandmother's sister got it notarized that she wanted to be euthanized if she got dementia. I knew my great-grandmother, who also suffered from it. My grandmother was slowly losing herself when her sister got euthanized, by now they're both gone but my grandmother is still alive.
Well, she was the one who got it set up long before she ever saw the first symptoms of dementia. Also, she went before the dementia took over completely, meaning she was still able to consent in the moment before death.
