If he's an adult and makes the decision for him/herself, the doc is obliged to carry out the patient's wishes. It's only in the case of children where the legality is questioned.

Never encountered this when I worked A&E but I've heard the stories. And all docs involved accepted the adult patient's decision, or the decision of their spouse/parent if they show they're the patient's medical proxy.

Dying to live, living to die.
