The same could indeed be said for those on life support.

Would you force by court order someone to share their organs with a critical patient, even if it could save that patient?

Even when a patient's life is in jeopardy, he can't borrow another person's body without consent, to sustain himself.

No, I was thinking more that your arguments could be used to declare those in comas non-persons. Folks like Peter Singer have used your logic to justify that and infanticide.
