The person considering an option like this would have to be 100% sure they want this to happen - I don't think someone else should EVER make a decision like this as another person couldn't truly understand how they feel, which is why I would be against this option for those in a coma for example.

I think in cases where there is absolutely no hope of recovery (as with my dad whose cancer had spread all over his body by the time he died), the humane and moral thing to do would have been to allow him to die a peaceful death by lethal injection, which he was begging for at times. What is moral or ethical about insisting someone must suffer to the bitter end?
