If it was me, I'd rather be dead than be stuck in a vegetative state for the rest of my life

If there is no chance of recovery then i wouldnt want to be kept alive, i would hate wasting bedspace that people who can get better would need more than me.

There is a perfect reason. But people will say "What if...", so what if I better tommorow then it's ok for someone who might need the space and reasources to die. NO!, it' s not. So yeah you're perfectley right.

No I don't believe so for two arguable yet valid reasons... Reason number one: Yor life is not entirely yours... yes, yes its your life and you decide how to run it but all the resources you used and time spent to reach this point would be a complete waste if you were purposly put down(at least contribute somthing)... and if your life sucks that much and you want to throw it away then why should you still be in controal of it, if your just going kill yourself anyways? Its like throwing out a perfectly good piano and if somebody tries to pick it out of the trash you say no I want it to be garbage yet you threw it away. Of course thats only valid if the person in question can make his or her own decesions... If not then this brings me to the second part... Go back to 1902 and anybody would tell you the only thing that can fly is somthing lighter then air which would be a balloon, no ifs, ands or buts. Anything else was crazy and unimaginable, but the wright brothers in 1903 actually built the first air plane to take flight this was an huge break through which has greatly affected the world today, my point? Human technology is advancing faster then it ever has in history(espically medical improvments) to say this person should die because there is no forseeable help in the near future is not a valid reason. The human race while intellignet has shown that it's ability to perdict the future is pitifull. We cannot say for certain what technology break throughs that might happen that will help people. So even if there is a micro chance somebody can be helped it should be taken... After all your going to die regardless, if you die now or later.

Well if they agree to it, fine, but if not, then that's murder. I mean, honestly, would you want to spend your entire life sitting in a hospital bed not being able to move? I would personally not want to be taken out because that's not valuing life and I'd like to enjoy it while I can. But if people agree to it, then fine.

Also, I'm a Christian so I don't believe people should, because then you just get to end up in Hell and I would much rather vegetate than be tortured.

I'll pray for you.
