Listen "Dementia and Desires: Which you is the real you? "
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Rand Hirmiz (Singapore Management University) discusses how people with dementia can sometimes drastically change their preferences, including their long held values such as religious views or ethical standpoints. If a person then tries to go against their former views, such as by eating meat despite being a lifelong vegetarian, which views should we respect? What if their new views are less harmful or restricting than their previous views? Rand talks about the ways in which we form values, and the similarities and differences between the person pre-dementia and post-dementia. We also debate coffee (once again), and the wild concept of half-and-half milk, and that is not so half-and-half as they say. Remember people, be savvy!
