Absolutely. My SO and I both have living wills saying we want no extraordinary means used to maintain physical life and naming the other as executor of that will for making medical decisions.
I personally don't think removing the feeding tube would be going far enough. It'll take the person up to a month to die, and that could be torurous to the loved ones. Once the decision has been made to end the life, I see no difference between removing life support and giving a lethal injection, except that the latter is quicker and thus more humane to the loved ones.
