Why? I don't know anyone, especially a 24 year old, who when asked that question would say, "YES, please keep me alive in a hospice indefinitely if I ever become in a vegitative state, with no chance of recovery and can't feed myself."

The Nazis thought the same. They could not think why the invalid should bother wanting to go on living and it was so expensive to maintain them. Almost you persuade me.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT NAZI'S. I'm talking about the wishes of a free thinking human being. We still have that here, don't we? I'm asking you a question with a revision. I don't know anyone, especially a 24 year old, who when asked that question would say, "YES, please keep me alive in a hospice indefinitely if I ever become in a vegitative state as long as there is a 2% chance that I may be able to swallow some food again. Would you? If you say yes, you're a liar.
