My opinion is similar, but... I've taken care of patients with ALS, and trying to figure out when you're in window of time between functional and nonfunctional is just about impossible. Not to mention that these patients and families have amazing capabilities to adapt to new realities, so as their function decreases, they adapt and thoughts of suicide seem ridiculous.
Not all patients, of course. I just felt a need to respond to the 'decent' part of your comment. The only decent thing to do is what you think is right.
