OK, is it wrong to kill a stranger in a coma or PVS? They are less intelligent than dogs.

- gort 14y agoPeople can wake up from coma, I take it. But in cases where damage to the brain is so extensive that we can reasonably say all capacity for future thought has been lost, the primary worry really is just for the wishes of the family. The medical establishment, at least where I live, tends to take the view that there's no intrinsic value in trying to prolong the life of such a body.
