The court ruled that in rare cases of euthanasia that were being performed on patients with severe dementia—and who had earlier made a written request for euthanasia—the doctor "did not have to verify the current desire to die."

So the story is this: you see your parents die of dementia. You see how bad it gets. You make your advance directive: "When my time comes I want euthanasia. I don't want to drain the cup of life completely. I don't want to swallow the bitter dregs at the bottom."

Eventually, the time comes and is bad. You can no longer remember what you have seen of the bitter dregs at the bottom of the cup of life. What then?
