I also would make that decision for myself...terminal is terminal to me....and I have told my children no heroics for me, no code, no recisitation etc....but its not the governments job to make that decision....I think a lot of people my age (over 70) would say no also....but I cannot make that decision for anyone else....
I think that is a terrible mistake. Terminal is an educated opinion of a doctor, but life can be very tenacious. I know a number of people who blew "terminal" out the water and are living happy, healthy lives.
Unless someone is in terrible, unmanageable pain they should give their body every chance possible for it to live.
