ALZHEIMER’S — Ways to cope
The hot-button issue of end of life choices available to a person with Alzheimer’s Disease or other form of dementia is coming up again in March with the publication of a new book and it’s preview in ‘People’ magazine.

The new book is “In Love” a memoir by Amy Bloom (Random House) and Amazon. It chronicles the story of her husband’s Alzheimer’s and their trip to Switzerland to get assisted dying at his request. The Swiss call it ‘accompanied suicide’, which is legal there.
On page 63 author Amy Bloom says that LifeCircle in Switzerland is closed. I am assured today by Dr.Preisig that this is incorrect – they’re taking patients. ?
