Though such findings currently apply to only a small number of high-income countries, there is a strong possibility that such practices may be considered in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in those where improved healthcare has led to increases in life expectancy and in the number of elderly adults diagnosed with dementia (Mukhopadhyay and Banerjee, 2021).

J. Med.

Further, it is argued that since informed consent may be impossible once this disintegration has occurred, such an option should not be restricted only to advanced cases (Cipriani and Di Fiorino, 2019), and should be included in advance directives (Menzel and Steinbock, 2013) under the principle of precedent autonomy (Groves, 2006).
