Yeah lets say you become bored of life, and instead of taking the horrific, painfull, and all so final way out, a person had the option of lets say litterally sleeping your life away. Then lets say arrive at the finish line, from the persons perspective and live out their final days, with out all of life's little drama's ups and downs. This kinda would be pathetic and alot like cheating on a test but would you take the option?

Several problems:
It would be incredibly expensive.
Your muscles would atrophy. You would get osteoporosis.
If you're bored or miserable that's a condition in your brain and there's no reason to believe that would change while unconscious.
So you'd just wake up poor and frail but still bored.

It's a cop-out, Fred. Life is for Living, meeting the challenges and overcoming them, not hiding away in a coma. I doubt that it could be self-induced to the level you envisage, and the medical industry, although it has done so for medical reasons, would have to have a damned good reason to even attempt it, and then there's the press fallout. It'll be much easier to DO SOMETHING, rather than say you're bored. If you don't face Life this time around, you'll only have to face it next time, only the screws will be a bit tighter.

Fred~
Medically induced coma is for patients that have critical conditions that affect their brain and it depends on how long it takes for the swelling to go down. It may take weeks or months, so yes it might be possible for a person to be in an induced coma for years but highly unlikely. Many doctors don't like using it but for your question to "sleep away life" no, no doctor will just put some one in an induced coma for the fun of it. so my advice is to take life like a man and move on. Besides think of all the things you'd be missing out on.

i might marvel at her innocence, and be saddened via the understanding that it does no longer final long. there's a definite understanding in innocence that information can by no potential impart: that life is attractive and worth of our awe, and that it has no choose for nor care of our petty issues. The 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous nevertheless is familiar with this.. yet fairly. college does an outstanding interest of wiping out that harmless understanding and changing it with "certainty".

Medical comas are generally used in the most desperate of conditons.

Your question is inconsistant. I can't make sense of it, though I have the answer re: someone sleeping for a very long time.
Sorry.

That makes no sense. You don't want to die, yet don't want to live in it. So, what do they do when they wake up? Continue to be depressed? Don't you think seeking mental treatment would be more viable?
