程明聰神父答Fr. Francis' Answer:

Technically, that is not considered suicide. A person has the right to refuse medical treatment.

The broader question we have to ask ourselves, is rather if that is good stewardship of the body and time God has given us, because, you know, we do need to give an account to God how well we have disposed of all that God has given us, including our body, time, talents, and wealth.
