Seconded. For reference, I have experience with this kind of scenario first hand (helping care, and living with, somebody with dementia combined with complete immobility and many other things making the quality of life for absolutely everybody involved worse). I hope that with time we become more comfortable with euthanasia, most of us in the scenario found it to be the right choice, but society goes against it.

I also have first-hand experience with this scenario (shared here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39043885) and if we had followed that line of thinking we would have unnecessarily lost a valuable life. It turns out that, just like our judges and juries convict innocent people in our justice system, our doctors can give terminal or non-improving prognoses to people who will, to a meaningful extent, recover.
