Some would do it, others wouldn't. Being imprisoned for life is enough
punishment. The right to die on demand stand separate from the idea of being
punished. If capital punishment is considered inhumane, than being forced to
stay alive in a prison until one dies a natural death seems to be even more
inhumane.
