Wow, This is a very sad situation. I hope the very best for your Uncle David, Aunt Nancy, and family.

One thing to consider is what the possibility of having a productive life in the future is. For example, you wouldn't give an infant Euthanasia because they will be productive in the future.

I think this is a very personal decision you and your family will have to make. If I were making a similar decision, I think I would opt to put him into a home. He obviously sounds like a threat to your Aunt; emotionally and physically. From there, it is sad to say he will probably not last long, but if they do have some sort of breakthrough in the next few months with Alzheimers you will not regret your decision.

Good luck to you and your family.
