I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer’s it’s the best form of Alzheimer’s to have. This is a moot point, but what it does do, while gradually robbing you of memory, visual acuity and other things you didn’t know you had until you miss them, is leave you more or less as fluent and coherent as you always have been.
Terry Pratchett denkt über den Tod nach...
URL: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... es-UK.htmlTerry Pratchett, author of the best-selling series of fantasy novels set on Discworld, made an emotional plea for the right to take his own life when the appropriate time comes in an interview with the London Daily Mail.
Pratchett, who had revealed in December 2007 that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, spoke out after a controversial judgment in the House of Lords in the case of a woman with multiple sclerosis who had sought guidance on whether her husband would face prosecution if he helped her travel to a clinic in Zurich to die.
"I intend, before the endgame looms, to die sitting in a chair in my own garden with a glass of brandy in my hand and Thomas Tallis on the iPod," said Pratchett. "Oh, and since this is England, I had better add, 'If wet, in the library.' Who could say that this is bad?"

Mr. Pratchett. http://blastr.com/2011/06/terry-pratchett-begins-fo.phpThree and a half years ago, Terry Pratchett, the beloved author of the Discworld series, announced that he has early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Now he's made an even more startling announcement.
Pratchett, who has campaigned in his native United Kingdom for the right of assisted suicide, has begun the formal process of assisted suicide in Switzerland, one of the few countries in the world to legalize euthanasia. Specifically, this would take place at Dignitas, a clinic that provides qualified doctors and nurses to assist with the patients' suicides.
Dignitas has sent Pratchett the paperwork he needs to sign to begin the assisted suicide process—but he has yet to sign it.
