I'm sorry for ur loss Jauntie, and I'm sorry that ur mother had to go through all that.

As much as I feel sympathetic to such patients, it still makes me wonder if it's the "right" thing to do. Did we choose when our life began? So why should we decide when it ends? A doctor's job is to make life better not death easier, as stated in the Hippocratic Oath "To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death."
