While you are correct that, in this case it was wrong for the machinery to be unplugged (since it was not the wish of the patient), you are mistaken to refer to this kid as a future Kevorkian. The good doctor assisted people with terminal illnesses who desired to end their lives in doing so, which was a generous act. He did not unplug respirators for his own convenience, in the manner in which the teenager did, which was a selfish act.
