"If you think food and water are "artificial life support"; please tell us all who should be kept on this life support and who should be taken off?"

You first -- if you think a ventilator is "artificial life support", please tell us all who should be kept on this life support and who should be taken off?

"You first -- if you think a ventilator is "artificial life support", please tell us all who should be kept on this life support and who should be taken off?"

Yes -- if the person is brain dead. Dead people should be taken off (subject to their clearly stated will for such eventualities).

Now -- are food and water "artificial life support? Is withholding food and water until someone dies the same as "letting them die" -- or is it more like killing them? Who would you deny food and water to?
