Would you like to live in persistent vegetative state?

[LoneTree]

A person in persistent vegetative state:
Doesn't follow simple commands.
Doesn't respond to when spoken to.
Can make some sounds but doesn't make any legible speech.
Has sometimes some awareness of his/her environment.

 

[AAP]

No. And I wouldn't make those stupid Republicans make me either.

 

[Lestat]

keep me alive at all costs unless I am in VISIBLE pain

 

[jenscats5]

No, I wouldn't......but then again, would I even know I was in a PVS??

 

[KillahBee]

kill my ass. but at least get a tute to come in and fondle my lifeless testicles before pulling the plug.

 

[Lestat]

No, I wouldn't......but then again, would I even know I was in a PVS??

exactly, no one knows for sure if you can or can't recover
i certainly wouldn't want to starve to death.

that sounds a lot like a girlfriend to me

 

[HumorMe]

Why?

 

[from zero]

Fuck no. Anyone who says yes is a complete idiot.

 

[Lestat]

Why?

you only live once man.

 

[bullett]

LMAO..

 

[n0th1ng]

If I was in a coma without brain damage I would like to be kept alive. And I don't want a caretaker named Buck..

If I was lobotomized and brain dead I would like to be suffocated with a pillow. None of that starving to death shit.

 

[HumorMe]

you only live once man.

Vegetative state is not living.

Pull the plug on me.

 

[The_Ghost]

made it clear to family, I wanna be unplugged!!!

 

[SoKlueles]

I dont know if i would or not.....
Its scary to think that you live your life in limbo running up your families medical bills........i guess it would be best to just pull the plug

 

[powerslave]

Vegetative state is not living.

Pull the plug on me.

Yep!

 

[jenscats5]

But if you're not aware of your life functions or surroundings, how do you know you're starving to death??

 

[jackangel]

i've been doing it for the past 10 years.

it's not so bad.

smell is a bitch, though.

 

[HumorMe]

made it clear to family, I wanna be unplugged!!!

Yep! Have my requests in a living will.

Let me go and move on.

 

[Lestat]

But if you're not aware of your life functions or surroundings, how do you know you're starving to death??

i think your body will still know, i believe that even in that state you feel pain

 

[justyxxxx]

No - I would not want to live like JerseyArt.

 

[jerseyart]

Fine.

I'm convinced

Let's proceed to starve all liberals to death.

 

[justyxxxx]

Fine.

That was a joke, DooDooHead. You have your opinions and even if they are wrong, they're yours. (Another joke)

I have no idea what you just wrote.

When I get 100k karma points Im going to purchase an idiot to english translator, so I'll follow be able to follow what you and AAP are talking about.

funny- I'm using my idiot to English translator as we speak.

 

[jerseyart]

LOL

You must be liberal

It worked, I actually understood what you just wrote, although I dont think its what you intended

 

[CFZB]

jersey....

hi.

 

[justyxxxx]

LOL

Well, you've got me on that one. I just updated my JerseyArt Translator, and not even it can understand that one - even with the latest definitions.

So, what Denomination are you anyway (and that's not abomination, either - although it would definitely apply to you)?

 

[jerseyart]

jersey....

hi.

Hey

 

[justyxxxx]

Hey

So Jersey - what would you want to happen to you should you become even dumber?

 

[biteme]

Remember the cop that was in a coma for nearly 20 years? He miraculously woke up one day and still had all his faculties. He died like a week later unexpectedly. He got to say goodbye to his family. I thought that was cool. That's a decision I hope I never have to face.

 

[Testosterone boy]

Deliberately living in that state is selfish in my opinion.

I'm all about the quality of life....not just life.

 

[big4life]

No.

I regret that I didn't get to say good-bye to my father, who passed away from a sudden heart attack, but I am glad that he didn't have to suffer for an extended time. Besides, I know that he's with me any time that I need to talk to him.

 

[biteme]

He is far from dumb.

 

[justyxxxx]

He is far from dumb.

You're right, he's not really dumb - as I already acknowledged previously. But, to that post, he admitted to not understanding. And then after that post, now I'm confused - does he want to be thought of as stupid, or not?

 

[IvanOffelitch]

Not just "no", but HELL NO!

I had the "priveledge" of watching two (count `em, TWO!) family members go like that...one suffered for about 6 months, and another for about 6-7 years.

Until you've been directly involved in the situation, you can not imagine the hell it is to go through that. I literally wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I can not for the life of me fathom how someone who says they love someone else could want them to go through life like that...trapped in a bed with tubes sticking out of every orifice in their body, unable to speak or communicate, seldom (if ever) lucid.

Both of my family members were in that condition. The one who passed away quickly got off lucky in that regards...the one who lived for 6-7 years was intentionally kept alive for the most selfish reason imagineable (and it was completely out of my control).

Sorry, sore subject for me. I'm out.

I know man. I'll never forget what you told me. That must have been so hard to watch.

 

[silverfish]

No, pull the plug, remove the feeding tube. No reason to live in that state. I don't care if there is a chance that in 20 years I may wake up.

 

[BUBBLES]

I would not want to live my life as a vegetable but we only get one shot at life and to give it all away without giving my system a chance to regenerate itself is robbing myself of the opportunity.

 

[from zero]

What two jackasses voted yes ... ?

 

[seizer]

I'd probably let the doctors and scientists do experiments on me, test new methods and shit out before they offed me...seems like the more economical thing to do. AND i like economics, yes i do.

 

[CFZB]

Has anyone said yes yet besides DJ_UFO?

thats wicked funny.

 

[milo hobgoblin]

Hell no.. what kind of dumbfuck would want to live imprisoned in their own brain casing?

Death is just changing from the state we are in now to whichever one comes next... move me on.. Im tired of paying taxes anyways.

 

[Deterass]

Dumbest question eva!

 

[MattTheSkywalker]

i got 100 employees in a pvs

 

[Razorguns]

Sit there, just lie there, THINKING all day for years? It would drive me completely insane and bonkers. That's the worst torture possible.

Hell no. If i'm brain dead -- fucking pull the plugger and send me on my way to hang out with Hendrix.
