I have seen this happen to my own family, thankfully not quite as prolonged as it seems to have been in Shakran's family... and I see no reason why anyone should have to "live" like this. I would rather knowingly choose the manner of my death than to have that kind of incapacitation, with my family's last memories tainted by what I had become, and not who I had been.
While it would have been nice for this guy's family had his mom not gone a bit OCD in the end, at least they got to say goodbye properly, and didn't have to watch her completely deteriorate.
