Have you discussed with your family/spouse your end of life wishes?

I’m not feeling morbid particularly but I have had a few moments recently contemplating my old age. I dread getting Alzheimer’s and would rather die than be such a burden to my loved ones. I said to my husband that I wanted him to give me the means to kill myself if I have dementia at 75. He has to tell me it’s time and encourage me to do it. He agreed but said the same doesn’t apply to him. What do you want if you are affected by dementia? Have you made any plans?
