Some people on this thread have harped on cost (and used it as a way to insert their own agenda about the economics of healthcare) but from my reading of the article it is really about being free to make an informed and personal choice about what the cost/benefit of treatment in terms of life quality vs life quantity is to you.
It is true the writer writes from the point of view of his own choice, but on a topic such as this, that is really the only way to do it authoritatively.
The point of the article, I thought, was to make us think - what would I do when/if the time comes?
