I don't want it to be true and I don't wish her dead, but to my mind she is dead. You have to know that a person who is so severely damaged is never going to get better. She didn't respond to intensive therapy after four years.

I worked at a board and care for folks like her. It was tragic the lengths and expense that the families went to to keep these poor bodies alive.

Go ahead and postulate your acceptable minimum level of getting better. What level of function would be acceptable to you for someone to be permitted to live in this situation, please?
