Is involuntary dying really worse than involuntary living? Personally I’d much rather risk the former than the latter.

I mean if you’re still alive you can always die another time - or not. But when you die, that’s that. No more options.

Medical ethics usually desires preserving options down the road as much as possible.

Well, not very easily if I'm legally prohibited from doing so! IMO medical ethics is wrongly biased towards preserving life at all costs.
