Scenario
Serious accidents can leave people comatose for month and even years. The longer the coma last, the less chance the person to regaining consciousness. There are people who lives in that state, care for at considerable expense in hospitals or nursing homes, unable to relate to their love ones, and unaware that they are technically alive. Such cases inevitably raise the question of euthanasia. Merely by injecting poisonous substances into a vein, a doctor or nurse could spare people a limbo of near life and grant them a painless death. Would it be ethically justify able to do so in such a situation? Would it be justifiable in other situation?
