This is exactly why I wear "do not resuscitate" bracelet. I prefer to go peacefully, without having to spend a few extra years brain-dead in a coma.

- pvaldes 13y agoIt is your choice. Some people return from a coma. Some people even return from a coma alive and well, thanks. Now we know that some neurons can recover and regenerate some parts and make new conections, and that this is a very slow process. We are talking of several milimeters/year. It depends on the grade of the damage received. To me to loose two years dreaming for, maybe, to win the rest of your life and see again your love, sons or friends seems a good deal; even if you lose your (replaceable) money, work, car or even house in the process. Nobody knows still who will recover and who will die. This situation is still an economic problem for the family, mainly. The "not resuscitate" option seems coward to me, and even dangerous if you find yourself in a multiple accident with a lot of victims to care for, but is your choice.
