That also touches on questions about do not resuscitate orders or people saying "just let me die." Some people argue that forcing medical care on somebody to save their life is the right thing to do as all life must be preserved at all costs.

In the case of assisted suicide (and, well, the above issue) that's why living wills are a huge deal. If somebody puts it in writing, talks it over with their doctor, signs it, and puts it on file there isn't much doubt. Then you can have it both ways; people who want to stay alive as long as possible can have that while people that want their plug pulled and the processed of dying sped up can have that as well. The most moral thing to do is to let the patient decide for themselves.
