Do you want to be kept alive?
A vegetative state, in which patients wake from coma but appear to have no awareness had been diagnosed. You are brain-damaged patient. You don't know whether you are getting through, wheter your loved one can understand you. Some brain-damaged patients who are in a vegetative state can understand and answer questions using their thoughts alone. Scientsist then read their answers by studying magnetic resonance imaging scans. The advance however raises difficult ethical question, such as whether patients could use the technology to express a wish to die.

Life ... Is the State of Being, described by the living human's distinct Awareness, of Being ... Meaning, God's Granted Human Mind. ... Is the Index of Being ... hence, Life.

The Scans, as I said elsewhere, are not the Index of Life ... these are the Physical's bio-electrical impulses ... like the Idling engine of a car ... going nowhere.
Odds are that if you are in a vegetative your spirit has already left the body and it is okay to euthenize the corporeal remains, esp before further decay of the body and mind.
