Totally agree with apathy. Disconnecting an iron lung or whatever is one thing... but simply taking away food and water is not removing life support, it's pure death due to neglect. I think you ought to be provided those at a minimum, and there should only be a debate about disconnecting whatever else may be needed to keep someone alive.

The article said that guy (19 years) is a quadriplegic. Kinda like his brain just came alive... The rest of him is pretty much still in a coma.
