The question nobody is asking is, “What if you want to go ahead and die now, since there is no hope of recovery?”

The fact is that you usually spend HALF of you entire life's medical expenses in the last year of life. If I'd rather give that money to my spouse or children rather than prolonging my misery, is that wrong?

This is part of what hospice does. A person is within their rights to refuse medical care. Palliative pain treatment is not expensive at all.
