The person who has a say in the aggressiveness of your treatment should be one who would view your death as the worst outcome, other only than your suffering severely without any prospect of recovery and then dying. In the absence of such a person as that, a decision to limit the aggressiveness of treatment in dire circumstance is inherently morally problematic.
