I'm sure a comatose patient would ask to be saved if they knew if they'd come around

Terri Schiavo

you need a heart to beat. Cardiomyocytes are NOT a heart. They are cells that "beat" from a few days in.

Why yes in fact I do

Its not different, who even said that, its still taking a life, also why did you have the pro life tag when you are pro-abortion

I pro liberty, slight difference.

So being that it is not different, who will pay for life support?

I've always considered it murder to end life support prematurely.

You're one of few

Sure, but it seems pretty simple. I don't think there's anyone who can be declared well and truly 'brain dead', so ending them prematurely just seems wrong.

Now, if there was a situation where you're causing more suffering for the individual by keeping them alive, then that's transcended from preserving hope to torture. In a case like that, then yeah I could see the moral compunction for ending their suffering. Not sure that's particularly common though.

I was speaking on life support when in a prolonged coma

I mean, people have woken up from incredibly long comas...therefore yeah, I consider that murder, or at least tantamount to it.

Again, not many agrees with you

I'm OK with that.

It'd be hard for me to go against the grain so hard like that. Props to ya.

Just another day in the life, haha. Thanks.
