Actually there is no difference. They are both conscious decisions made by the person who is facing death.

I think there's a place for alternative therapies as a compliment to treatment.

It is not a question of "compliment", and as in this case I would completely agree, it was a question of abandon mainstream science for alternative therapy, at least that is what I garnered from the previous discussion.
