Who has the final say in whether you, a married adult, are a "veg"? Your spouse? Your parents? A judge? The Governor? What if you have no "living will," but your spouse says you told her that was your wish? (Hello, Terri Schiavo.)

and what I wonder if you are severely brain-damaged, and function at the level of a four year old or a one year old? And the impaired you is fortunate enough to be well-cared for and happy? Does the living will of the old you outrank the new you who actually experiences the damaged state?
