So *you* know he’ll die when he’s taken off the ventilator? Because there’s been many examples of such things not happening, the person, who has been written off by the doctors, begins breathing on their own.
What then? A pillow over the face? :-(
“A pillow over the face?”
God, no! If he can breathe on his own then there is a chance that eventually more of his muscles can be restored to working condition. If he can breathe maybe he can swallow and begin eating solid food. If he does breathe then there is hope, even slightly, that maybe he can fully recover.
But his present condition is like being in prison with no parole in sight. We cannot know how much he suffers.
Absolutely not.

Please reread what I wrote, in particular the sentence, "That doesn't appear to be the case for him." I never said he would die. How can I know that?
