“Precisely, she determined that she would play god.”

And so what do you think of the person who decides to quit treatemnt knowing they could have lived a couple months longer — but still weould have died? Is that playing God? What about the doctor who gives that extra pain medication knowing that it might (or might not) be enough to kill?

I have no issue with someone making the decision to suspend medical care. This is quite different than actively taking steps to end one's life.

Again, it goes to the doctor's intent.
