Except Doctors are human and could be wrong as well as if its your Mother/Father/Spouse/Child laying there you'll probably be far less quick to make that decision.

Nope I'd probably decide even faster

Sorry man, that's too disgusting to be funny.

Well it put a smile on my face.

With that being said a vegie should get the plaug pulled on them. Someone in a coma should be kept alive

If the only way to keep a person alive is with the help of machines i find it unethical ans immoral to keep them alive

I think this kind of things should be spoken by the pacient itself way before having an accident or in the vegetable state.

I have spoken this to my relatives and i have told them to unplug me in case something like this happens, also in case of kidnapping, i told them to try to rescue me instead of paying for my freedom.

I think if you see people in that state "without any decision taken before", it may be actually their fault, i know those cases can be hard to solve, but i would unplug them after a shot time to recover themselves.

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

I can't and don't speak for others. But if I become a veggie, I'd like to be disposed of.
