Better hope you’re able to do it for yourself when the time comes. I’ve thought the same after watching my parents deal with my father’s Alzheimer’s.

As a person who had grand parents with Alzheimer’s, it's starting to sound like this is my better option. I can go through pain, suffering, and what not completely with it or I can slowly go out without knowing or understand anything that is going on. I think I will take the latter.

A good living will and instructions for trusted friends/family/SO to carry out goes a long way for that.

Its easy to take your life, its impossible(for decent people at-least) to take some one else's life.

Friends and family aren't exactly hitmen.

Most people aren't that 'rational' (or willing to go to jail)
