Many would disagree, but I think its the right decision and I would have done the same. Its a tough choice.

I agree with that.

I also admire the parents exceptional courage in dealing with such and emotional and heart breaking situation.

Personally, I don't know if I could cope if any of my kids reached such a decision.
But I would have to respect it, regardless of how much sadness and pain I would feel.
