... it's illogical to compare a fetus with a persistant vegetative state.

The point of the comparison is they both lack conscious brain activity. 

Until conscious brain activity occurs, both parties - the fetus and vegetable - are dead.

No life has been suspended if there is no conscious brain activity. The only difference between states is that the vegetable once had life.
