"Keeping people alive against their wills is just as bad as killing those who don't measure up, IMO."

That is not the discussion we have been having over the past few posts. I would have a difficult time acting against anyone's will to die (unless it looked like they were having some sort of temporary disturbance). Otherwise I would encourage a regard for life and hope things worked out for them. We have already had that discussion.

"What I'm advocating is respecting the individual's choice to opt out gracefully."

It scares me to think that one or more people (or "society") would dare to usurp my right of choice. But I am under no illusions in that regard. I have put it on my "to-do" list just now to develop precautions around my death.
