I think the point being made, boobs, is not an extremist one...since the person is in a vegetable state...she does not have a the conscience to be able to make decisions. You cannot equate people in a vegetable state to blind people or crippled people or any other form of diverse ability.
Since they have that diverse ability does not infer they have an inability to make decisions.
For this patient the biggest issue of sustaining her on the life support as someone pointed out is cost. There seems to be no light at the end of her tunnel but I feel if shutting the life system down will save many more people say....who need the life system in between operations or say are in a coma then so be it. The amount of money being used to sustain this person could be used to sustain others...or even lower the costs of other life critical operations.
If i was to be in a vegetable state. I would wish for them not to spend money keeping my body alive, for i have lost the ability to live. Instead they would spend that money to save other peoples lives.
