I agree that there is no evidence, which I why I posed a hypathetical scenario. The reason being, is that many of my colleagues do not agree that anyone should be able to choose to let themselves die, even if they have it clearly spelled out in their will. I was just looking for feedback. Thanks

No one at this forum or anyone else I know of would say that someone has an absolute duty to go to extraordinary lengths to save their own life. Passively refusing to go to the doctor in order to let a condition run its course, or to rely on faith, or whatever, is not in the same moral category as intentionally ending one's own life. And I doubt if anyone is going to argue too much that if someone puts that into a will, that is not worthy of categorical condemnation. But I guess I shouldn't presume to speak for everyone here.
