We recently had a family member have a similar conversation with the doctor: did she want quality or quantity of life. He made it clear that both options came with trade offs. The family member chose quality and put in place a do not resuscitate order and said she doesn't want to be taken to the hospital if something happens and to just be comfortable.
It's a difficult choice to make and we helped her with it, but it's practical. It puts things in place for end of life care.
