Claus's actions struck me, and still do, as rational, exemplary, and in a quiet way, heroic. The religious generally argue that God has given us life, and so it is not ours to dispose of as and when we see fit.
The non-religious, who guess that we have arrived by some piece of cosmic chance, are more inclined to think that as autonomous beings, it is our right and duty to live according to our own lights and, in extreme circumstances, to control the manner of our own death.
