[Serious] Total locked in syndrome and assisted dying

[brewer]

A couple of things. Do these patients have a locked in diagnosis or do they simply fit some or all of the symptoms? If it's some other diagnosis their level of neurologic function may be different and need to be assessed.

If they can't communicate how do you know that they are in agony and/or want euthanasia? Is there a chance that the agony is yours? Don't get me wrong, I applaud your empathy.
