AI Summary
5 min readA TikTok creator named Where Did Bex Go, a 49-year-old woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s, has been documenting her decision to pursue medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in Canada. She has scheduled and rescheduled her death, explaining that she wants to exit while she still has the cognitive capacity to make the choice herself.

Her daughter needs to go to therapy.” The mother is advised to warn Kelly’s family that her daughter might show up.
