I so agree with you, and had to make a decision for my mom, at only 70 YO. She had severe dementia and no quality of life, but they were of course willing to take extreme measures. I asked the doctor what she would do if it were her mom. She initially said something like they do whatever the family requests. I said “but what would you do if it were your mom?” She said “I would let her go.”
I was so appreciative of that doctor, and after consultation with some other close family members, that’s what I did.
