> There are many people on this board that are showing signs of being dibilitated, impaired and many are in great depression. Depression alone robs us of being able to make decisions as well as those that are not impaired...

The assumption here, and probably in general, is that people are competent. In fact, the explicit informed consent process here not only asks for informed consent, but shows (or at least provides some evidence of) decision-making capacity.
