No doubt in my mind I’d kill myself.
Comment on Do people who are in late stage dementia still aware of the concept of death?

Dementia isn’t stupidity.
Dementia is a loss of memory. The loss starts with the lastest, newest memories, and proceeds to the older memories.

That gets rid of all the memories.

Everyone says this. No one does this.
When we’re at the hospital getting our diagnoses, let’s make sure we document how we will talk ourselves into tolerating that bullshit and how we decide to die on nature’s terms instead of our own.

Robin Williams did. I’m sure other people do as well.

Is memory the same as knowledge or this two can be different? In terms of my question, Is the concept of death a knowledge not a human instinct?

No. This is besides the question. It has no relation to dementia.
