It should be their choice. Plain and simple.

Unfortunately, I deal in common sense. Something that's lost on the government and a great many people.
A lot of time, there's no way to really know what the person wants. I could tell you right now that I want to live, but if suddenly I was strucken ill or in a car accident or something that left me brain dead for the most part, there's no way I could ever convey to you if I wanted to stay alive for longer or if I wanted to die, and there's no way you'd ever know which I wanted.

For the most part, a person doesn't even know if they'd want to be alive through it or not until it's happening. I can say now I'd want to be kept alive but after a year of being unable to think, much less communicate, my choice may change.
