Again, you're still missing the point. It isn't a like-for-like comparison. It's solely about brain activity. Are they capable of responding to stimuli? If so, they are alive. If not, they are dead. Cannot kill someone who is dead. That includes vegetables.

It's incredibly simple; shouldn't take this long to understand.

So in otherwords your stance is, if someone is in a vegetative state and likely is going to wake up in 7 days, but can not currently respond to stimuli, in your mind it's fine to cause their death, since they are not alive.

Correct?

 

Which again... My point.

Vegetative states are often not permanent.

Usually people will wake up from them within a month.

I thought I made it perfectly clear, but I guess some people struggle with understanding the difference between a confined analysis and an extrapolation to real world scenarios.

This is not meant to be a comprehensive position on how to address vegetative states. It's simply addressing the similarity of the electrocortical activity between someone in a vegetative state and a fetus around 20 weeks. 

You're making it into something it isn't.

I've made no comments about specific scenarios because I wasn't addressing it initially, nor do I care to.
