I need to write up some kind of living will or something where, sure expend whatever is (reasonable) to return me to normal health... until I forget why I need to ask for help (that I need) or even myself; and that isn't just a rare occurrence but an always or even mostly always state of my mind having fallen apart before my body.
If my mind does fall apart before my body: I want any treatment known or suspected to fix that. Then to be admitted to any study hoping to establish such treatment. Then failing any hope of return to health... I'm already dead as far as our medical tech allows; make it painless, useful to those who might benefit from viable parts, useful to the progress of science (generally) and medicine, quick, and resource efficient; in that order of decreasing importance.
