Advance directives containing a request for euthanasia in cases of severely debilitating dementia are of no use. In such an advanced stage of the disease, the doctor would have to administer lethal medication to a patient who does not realise what is happening to him/her. The Dutch Euthanasia Act is ambivalent about this possibility.
包含在严重衰弱性痴呆病例中请求安乐死的预嘱是无用的。在疾病的如此晚期阶段，医生将不得不给一个没有意识到自己身上正在发生什么的患者施用致命药物。荷兰《安乐死法案》对这种可能性态度模糊。
