I'll tell you what I would wish, and that is not to live 14 years as a vegetable. I hope to heaven that someone just lets me go peacefully.

If you ever turn into a vegetable, perhaps someone will put you in a salad. What you've been queing as a vegetative state is a broad spectrum of physical disability, but in reality the interconnectiveness so that the human organism functions as an integrated whole is what is examined to prove 'someone is still there' regardless of level of handicappedness. Euthanizing the handicapped may be an easier way to deal with the unfortunate, but it sure as hell isn't a pro-life position to stride.
