Have you seen someone in excruciating pain for a long time without hope for improvement or experienced it yourself? It's really easy to talk tough while you are healthy but your opinion may change once you are in that situation.

From what I have seen I would prefer to go out in dignity at my own will instead of being an experiment of the medical machine. Others may feel different and I think both paths should be available.

Yes. And no, my opinion hasn't changed.

What does dignity buy you if you're dead? Nothing. You can have yours, I'll spend mine to stay alive as long as possible.

That's your choice. As I said both options should be available.

In the end you will only know how you will really feel once you are in such a situation.
