Of course it should be an individual decision made at a time the person is still mentally able and present. I had talked about this with my doctor, and we had a plan in case I got to the point the situation was obvious. Unfortunatly he recently retired. I read an afticle some time back talking about if a person is over 75 and suffering a potentially terminal disease, he/she should not strive to prolong things. Some of us are pretty old by now and looking at the end being in relatively close proximity. When you get to that point, you wonder if you would have the guts to be positive about it when the time comes. It should be an accepted altenative that can be done in a dignified, painless manner. In my case, my wife is younger than I. I'm not inclined to hang around, burning up money she would need just to prolong a crappy existence.
