As I see it, you bring up two only tangentially related issues of personal choice.
(1) Do I want to undergo organ transplant to extend my life? Or, put in another way "What medical procedures am I willing to go to prolong my life?
(2) What are the ethics surrounding whether or not one ought to be an organ donor?
They're both intensely personal issues - and from my perspective, they are choices that we all ought to be free to make. I'm an organ donor, but I would not deem it ethical to force someone to do so.
In addressing issue (1), while some may find her reasoning flawed, it is still her choice to make regardless. I have an advance directive that instructs my representative to withhold consent to certain procedures should I become incapable of indicating consent on my own. My reasons for doing so are irrelevant - they are mine and mine alone, as is the choice. That mine have to do with quality of life issues, and hers spiritual beliefs seems to me a non-issue.
She wants to die on her own terms. She should be allowed to.
