You my friend have a built in instinct to survive. Try drowning youself by holding your breath underwater then breathing. You will choke and gasp like a crazy person. Preservation of life is the basic predisposition of lifeforms. Don't write it off so easily. I wonder who put that in our genes?

But this lady is incapable of such actions, is she not? I have not followed this much but I thought she was in a coma.

Certainly God puts the instinct to survive in us but these decisions are not being made by her since she is incapable of such.

This is part of a larger question which is "How much effort and expense should be devoted to prolonging lives which without intervention would have ended naturally long before?"

I don't think God put an alternative feeding port in us, did he? Thus, if we are looking at God sanctioned aspects of life once one cannot feed themselves one dies in the God imposed course of life.
