When people speak with lawyers to set up wills and living trusts and such (I probably got the terminology incorrect), they're asked about situations where they'd want life support removed. I don't really see situations like Thor's described as different in any meaningful way. If people don't want to be alive anymore due to physical or mental suffering, I believe we owe them the option to end their lives with some dignity. As mentioned by Street Pharmacist, we do give this dignity to our pets.
