Chris, Ken, and all...
It is possible to do End-of-life photography with dignity.
Here is the last image, of my Dad, about 3 days before he died, at age 97 3/4.

But, overall, I agree with the majority ... it's best to photography them as
you wish to remember them, not as they are in their final hours. I know that's
what I'll want, when my time comes.
