Barbra is very courageous making that choice. Doctors can and do often say, "we might be able to do this or that" but even then, age can get to the point even if they can do something, the quality of life for that person becomes an issue.
Having seen it myself, I have all the empathy in the world for the Bush family. Ultimately only they can make that choice and as family it is up to us to support what they wish.
There is no polite way to put the following. Every single person in the world who doesn't die quickly say from an accident, or crime, who reaches old age, will have to face their own mortality and make those comfort/quality issues. The only thing family can do at that point is to let them make their own decisions and be their for them and comfort them.
