Inherent Difficulty with Dementia and Legal Rights
The story involves deep pain for all parties, and the journalist questions if the pain stems from bad decisions or a flawed system for handling people with dementia. She concludes that everyone involved acted in good faith, and the weaknesses in the system contribute to the pain. The journalist points out the inherent difficulty in dementia, where there is no clear point at which a person loses the legal right to do things for themselves.
