So are you supportive of the forced death of people with PVS?

Hah, I've tangled with your group, but not today! It's a surreal experience. As the article posted indicates, truth is trodden underfoot. I won't put up with having my every word twisted and maligned and having the most outrageous insults said to my face today.

Absolutely not. My whole point was PVS is not brain death. Therefore, this study should have no impact on organ procurement decisions.

There are times where withdrawal of care of a person in PVS would be appropriate -- but that would be based on a living will or family input with regard to what the patient wanted. Not because the doctor thinks it's time for the patient to die.
