So the difference to you is that you die in seconds when you turn the ventilator off and days when you turn off the feeding machines? Not convincing. Where's the principle?

Actually, the standard should be that death must be imminent. Even so, I think I'd want the ventilator on until my heart stops beating and my EEG goes flat.

I've heard that there are former polio victims who are still on respirators after decades. There's no reason to deny them the right to breathe, is there?

I don't agree with you but at least you are consistent.
