For notation, what your post refers to is probably very much against the law even when self-administered....but I hope as a society there is a change in this illegality of self-determination, and a more rational discussion of end quality-of-life issues.
An old childhood buddy suffered from a drug reaction which brought on a nervous system disease. He has probably been close to brain dead for the last decade, but his parents keep the shell of his existence alive on life support through insurance which could help many others.
I think that is more than sad.
