I have voted yes for this as I say my Mother go through lung Disease for the last 6 years of getting gradually worse and then having to be there for the final week of her life on ITU. Also this is how my uncle went and we cremated him on last Tuesday.
The other 2 members of my family who died of this, I did not meet.
If I do come down with this Disease I would take this option as I have seen what the Disease can do and the horror that it put's a family through.
Also I have seen the other end of the spectrum where they are in a Hospice, Due to a family friend with cancer and He even stated near to the end that He wished that he had gone sooner.
All this is just IMHO
