I have a few points of views on this issue.
1) As a non-religious person there isn't really that much of a problem to me of keeping a vegetative person 'alive'. They're already actually dead as far as I'm concerned, no consciousness means no suffering for them doesn't it? Religious people will have more problems due to soul issues.
2) Doctors still miss a few 'locked in' people. That's always a huge worry. The tech needed to spot them is getting much much more reliable though.
3) Keeping all vegetative people alive would be damned costly
