My dad had cancer that had spread to the lungs. He got pneumonia at the stage where he was having to use an oxygen machine at home. At the hospital he asked the doctors if he'd be able to go home, and they said it was highly unlikely. So, he asked them to turn off the oxygen, which they did. He passed peacefully a few hours later. Sure, we might have gotten a few extra months with him, but I'm so glad the doctors respected his wishes. My worst fear was him having to endure something like what you describe.
