There's an example in the default sudoers file for having sudo ask for the
target user's password instead of the current user's:

Defaults targetpw  # Ask for the password of the target user

I like the way OpenSUSE handles this, in that it changes the password prompt to
make it clear that you should enter root's password and not your own.

I think it would be nice if the example had the following additional line:

Defaults passprompt="%U's password:"
