Where the only thing really signifying they're alive is a heartbeat.


Or is it morally wrong to not pull the plug(for example, could be seen as preventing them from moving on to the next world)?

Why the fuck would it be morally wrong? They are literally dead.

I guess it depends on what the individual would want. Personally, I'd rather be dead.

What the indivual would want? They're fucking dead you nimrod.

So if they're dead, there shouldn't be a plug to pull. I hope you get a NWD for calling me a nimrod, that really hurt my feelings.

Keeping the body alive when the person is already long gone is the behavior of one that is unable to accept reality.

I deal with this at least once a week, and the answer is simple. If they fail all neurologic checks and have imaging consistent with global loss of brain function, they have no hope of recovery and healthcare resources are not being fairly utilized.

Brain death IS death. Not a tough concept. So yeah, if brain death is positively confirmed, pull the plug

We'll be playing god if we didn't pull the plug, and I sure as hell don't want to live the rest of my life as a vegetable.
