Nobody is talking about a "duty to die" here. And much as we don't like to think in these terms, there are very sound reasons to draw lines in cases like this.

If his oxygen tank were to cost $100 per month to operate, you can be damn sure that your sense of obligation to provide for his care would be much different than if it cost $1 million per month.

Ventilators don't cost a million dollars a month. The expenses saved by killing Daniel would be minimal. No one should be required to provide outlandish intervention, but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to kill him either.
