I'd argue the best way to avoid any end of life conflicts over your own life, is to put it in writing and or video as to what your wishes are in case you cannot make decisions for yourself. My mom had a written and very clear DNR legal document.
I can say that even if I was aware but could not move or speak, that is a severe quality of life loss. Many times in my late mother's decline, she expressed hating the hospital, not science, just being there, she hated that her body wasn't functioning like here very active life, and hated being poked and prodded. Quality of life matters. My mom didn't quit, she was simply tired. The human body wears out, every time.
I'd only say that end of life decisions should not be forced by government, but merely a decision made between the terminal person and their doctor.
Putting it in writing and or on video really makes it easier on everyone.
