For many conditions such as this one, we need a process to free these people pain free medically. Having seen a stroke patient, these patients need a team of people, just so that they move eyes or a finger. They are in some kind of minimally conscious or vegetative state. Enormous costs to those around them, bigger issue is they suffer greatly before they finally go which could have been a while ago. Doesn’t worth it.
