If that's where someone is at I don't see a problem with it if the person approves. There are some afflictions out there that cause more pain than most people even realize is possible, watching a person degrade into a state of perpetual agony should be avoidable if they so choose, at least in my opinion. Sure that doctor cried after going through with it, but there has to be some relief knowing the suffering is over.
Some people may argue against on a religious basis but I would argue forcing someone to live in pain is morally egregious and a misinterpretation of religious dogma.

Wouldn't modern drugs be able to control most pain?
