Why are people taken off of life support? What are the downsides for extended use for prolonged life?
In: 0
If someone is being taken off of life support and allowed to die, it’s because there is no hope for their recovery. They are either braindead (in which case keeping them on life support is arguably a waste of resources as they are effectively already dead) or will have such poor quality of life on life support that they may prefer to die peacefully on their own terms than prolong their suffering indefinitely at great financial cost to their loved ones.
