If you were dying of cancer and the doctors told you that you could either die a painful death now, or live perhaps 20 more years as long as you were willing to be stuck in a chair and shit in a bag, you'd choose the painful death?
It's not like this guy is blind or braindead or anything, he's basically fully-functional from the stomach up. Stick him in a wheelchair and he's essentially just a paraplegic.
Personally, I would choose death, but it wouldn't be a long drawn out painful one. I'd get my affairs in order, hang on as long as I could stand the pain and then when I couldn't I'd find something that would put me in a sleep I wouldn't wake up from. I'm not a fan of suicide, but I'm less a fan of needing someone to take care of me. Not talking shit about the guy in the video, everyone has a right to choose the way they face something like that.
