We treat our pets better than we treat our elders and terminally ill. I don't know that I'd ever exercise the option if I were still competent to make such a decision, but I've made it clear to my family that if I'm incapacitated and given a few months to recover with no improvement, that I do not want to be kept alive by machines when I as a person am gone.
I find that many people are uncomfortable when I state it, but given what I know about the nature of life, not only is a fundamental foundation of free will the right to end one's own life on one's own terms, if free will exists then suicide is the only truly pure expression of that free will.
