we were talking about a relative who has been in a coma since the age of 21. It's been 5 years. I told her if I was ever in that position and there has been no changes/progression, take me off of life support. oh man...didn't mean to hurt her I guess I could have been more sensitive. But I think these kind of wishes need to be discussed so the family isn't left scrambling and get to mourn with a little bit of piece that they did the right thing.Also, the person in the coma dies with dignity and his/her wishes respected.
