One Ans, which I offer with some diffidence, is:- "IF THE PATIENT 'IS SUFFERING-EXTREME PAIN ' AND IS NOT ABLE OF THEIR OWN VOLITION ,TO MAKE THE "LET ME DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES DECISION" BUT ARE KEPT ALIVE,AGAINST THEIR WILL. I DO NOT HOLD THIS TO BE RIGHT.. .ie:- IF THE PRE-CURSORY CONDITION IS THIS, ''THAT THEY ARE ONLY ALIVE BECAUSE OF CONSTANT MEDICAL SUPPORT AND DOCTORS MEDICAL ARTS' and are in 'CONSTANT PAIN AND SUFFERING'-Then, and only then,! "The one dying is assisted in the process, by the removal, or witholding of their current life sustaining medication/ equipment, or support, by a Doctor/ partner/,close blood relative/,or established family friend, who is able to perceive, that it is more MERCIFUL to allow them to die,(ALBEIT WITH PAIN-KILLERS) (by making the "CEASE SUPPORT DECISION") than to keep them living on in a constant state of agony, pain and misery, (Which I hold to be cruel !!)..and this is done for them, because they are no longer physically or mentally able to comprehend their STATE ,(owing to, and by their condition,) and are, therefore, 'NOT ABLE OF THEIR OWN VOLITION' to make the "ALLOW ME TO DIE" from natural causes decision. (Essentially it is, 'TO LET LIVE, OR LET DIE', on the basis of- 'IS THE PERSON IN CONSTANT PAIN-YES or NO?. THIS MY ANSWER ,-DOES NOT MEAN I COULD, OR WOULD MAKE THE DECISION,...but to those faced with the dilemma- I see that "MERCY ON THE SUFFERER" seems a right answer.

The patient is unable to choose. So the patient could be in a comatose state where they are considering euthanasia and the patient can not choose to live or die
