The question: "What would I want?" is ethically irrelevant, because it falsely assumes that what is ethical is determined by our wants as introspectively perceived. Even when someone wants to die, ethically we do not have the right to kill him.

I generally agree, but we accept when someones committs suicide, so we should accept the individuals´ decision - even if expressed through the unanimous voices of her/his relatives.
