Should they have had a choice? How long do we maintain them if they choose to live? Who pays? Why?

If our society is going to stand a chance of decent health care, people in this condition, unless they have private means, should be unplugged.
Way too much money spent on this kind of garbage, while people who can still contribute to society are lacking in basic health needs.
To some degree, the healthcare provided by a government or society needs to be looked at with a business eye (where's Rmoney when you need him?)
The person receives the healthcare so they can continue to be an asset to society.
This guy will never be anything but a drain on resources. Pull the plug.
