Aw, you shouldn't have. (Thanked me, that is.) (Literally)
The passage in Revelation that you picked up has nothing to say about modern technology. The prayers for death spoken of are a response to the fifth trumpet judgement, the plague of demonic locusts. Context, context. You might as well have quoted "The Sound of Music".
This is a case of a husband seeking release to die for his wife, who is in a persistant vegetative state. The feature of all is history is a husband or wife's responsibility to give permission for their opposite to be allowed to die when the medical opinion is that spouse will be forever in a braindead state.
What is "medical opinion"? What makes this so sacred? "Medical opinion" in real life is an ink mark on a dead tree. As long as that mark has the right marks after it, to blazes with the facts. We can always get a mark when we want it. Look at the abortion industry. All those killings are done because they are "medically necessary" for the "life and health" of the mother. The phrase "and health" has been mutated into a weasel exception that allows abortion in any circumstance. And so here, with PVS. Don't think that this term can't be expanded to allow the killing of anyone at all--if it can be applied to TS the way it has, there are no guarantees for anybody.
I want to say, "you should actually learn the facts before posting to these threads", or actually, SHOUT IT! but now I feel like I'm feeding a troll. So, have a nice day. While you still can.
Context? In Revelation?

It's all we have, lacking as we do the ability to look into men's minds and souls, and God's plan. Perhaps we should all come to you for counsel in what is right, wrong and what should be. 
You're funny!
