Sharon Osbourne reiterates plan for assisted suicide with husband Ozzy if they ever get Alzheimer's
'We believe 100 percent in euthanasia,' Sharon Osbourne, now 71, had said in 2007

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sharon Osbourne has reportedly asserted that her plan for assisted suicide with her husband, Ozzy, is still in place after she first talked about it more than a decade ago.
In her 2007 book ‘Survivor: My Story - The Next Chapter’, the television personality mentioned she might undergo physician-assisted suicide in Dignitas, Switzerland, in the event of any life-threatening health conditions, People reported.

Sharon Osbourne doesn't 'want it to hurt’
The sensitive topic was brought up again during a recent episode of ‘The Osbournes Podcast’ when Sharon and Ozzy’s son Jack asked his mother if euthanasia was "still a plan."

The 71-year-old answered, “Do you think that we’re gonna suffer?”
But her 37-year-old son pointed out, “Aren’t we already all suffering?” Sharon replied, “Yes, we all are, but I don’t want it to actually hurt, as well.”

“Mental suffering is enough pain without physical. So if you’ve got mental and physical, see ya,” she stated.
But her children were not satisfied yet as daughter Kelly questioned, “But what if you could survive?”
Sharon then added, “Yeah, what if you survived and you can’t wipe your own ass, you’re pissing everywhere, s----ing, can’t eat.”
‘If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer's, that's it - we'd be off’
This conversation happened years after the British-American author told the Daily Mirror in 2007, “Ozzy and I have absolutely come to the same decision."
“We believe 100 percent in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains. If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer's, that's it - we'd be off,” she said at the time.
Sharon shared, “We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes and they've all agreed to go with it."
“I saw my father suffer from the day he came back into my life in 2002 to the day he died in July. There's no way I could go through what he did, or put my kids through that,” she added.

She went on to say, “At least with something like cancer you can communicate, say how you feel, and explain why your body hurts. But my father deteriorated at such a rapid speed he became a shell of himself - dribbling, wearing a diaper, and tied into a wheelchair because he didn't realize he could no longer walk.”
Sharon concluded, “Some say the disease is hereditary so at the first sign I want to be put out of my misery. Ozzy and I have asked our lawyers to make the appropriate arrangements. It's taken away some of the fear of our ending and is a final gift of love to our kids.”
Besides, Ozzy reportedly said in 2014, “If I can't live my life the way I'm living it now — and I don't mean financially — then that's it...[Switzerland].”

“If I can't get up and go to the bathroom myself and I've got tubes up my ass and an enema in my throat, then I've said to Sharon, 'Just turn the machine off,’” the 74-year-old singer added.
