I voted yes to the first two and no to the last as well. Yorick, I share your concern but I honestly think this is the best way in a minority of cases. And I stress that, it has to be the exception rather than the rule in order to avoid exactly what you are describing. Death should not be taken lightly under any circumstances and as such this really must be a last resort in my mind.
The major worry I had with number three is that there is no real way of being certain it is the patients wish. If the patient is able to express a wish to die, in certain circumstances and if there really is no hope, then I think there is nothing wrong with it happening.
