Perhaps, but my mother has gone and said outright that if she’s a vegetable in pain when she’s old she wants to just die. My great aunt is in a similar situation and has said the exact same thing. Law forbids it though.

It's ridiculous. We allow our pets to have a more humane death than we allow ourselves. It's extremely unethical to let someone suffer until their body shuts down when there's nothing that can save them.

It's like abortion. If you disagree with it, don't do it.
