I am surprised nobody here has mentioned the Karen Ann Quinlan case. Her parents won the right to take her off of her respirator. Her respirator was removed in 1976. She was "supposed" to die.
However....
She survived until 1985, breathing on her own.
Obviously, a different case, but with a few notable parallells. I thought I would share.
That's all! My passionate lips shall remain sealed. If I don't walk away, I'll post like an uneducated ass*ole.  I'll spare you all of that. Plus, I'm a desperate people pleaser. Debate forums show us pathetic types no love.
