I'm in agreement with Mik on this one. It's an emotive subject with no absolute right or wrong answer. In '97, I watched my dad suffer in agony from lung cancer, the suffering being prolonged by an intravenous morphine pump. He had a heart attack and the doctors kept him alive for one more week of intolerable agony. I have a verbal agreement with my mum that if the same occurs with her, there will be no artificial extension of life. But this may just be rhetoric, who knows what will happen if this circumstance arises?
