'In the Presence of a Spoon' by Karin Wells

Karin Wells
Margot Bentley was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 1999, after writing a living will in 1991. Her daughter states in this radio documentary that her wish to be euthanized when she could no longer recognize her own family was not honoured by the court due to the fact she would open her mouth in the presence of a spoon while being fed.
