ubiquitin – thank you for you patient answers. I think that that was my point. That although comas can last for years, brain death really can’t and there is no reason (short of money) not to let the body run its course. This obviously should be the choice of the family (when Jews/Halacha are not involved) and not the health care provider. (It was not so long ago when this WAS the case) Even tho the health care providers will discourage life support, I don’t remember ever hearing them fight so ruthlessly. I wish this family strength.
