The scenario is you are 45 years old and became vegetative when you turned 38. This means that you have been in a vegetative state for 7 years. The will should be disregarded and you have no awareness of the opinions of your family and friends. You live in the US.
Please Tell me if you are liberal or conservative.

I'd rather die anyway if I lived in the US.

I would want to die. I know where I'm going when I die, so that isn't a fear. The thought of being kept alive by either machine or feeding tube isn't really living anyhow...it's just living for all the people that can't bear giving up the person in such a state.
Mostly conservative.

I am neither completely liberal or conservative (leaning toward the conservative side though). I would personally choose death considering I know where I am going in the afterlife.

I wouldn't say it's a pointless question because although you can't communicate with them they are still your family and they are still alive. I would choose to be dead because I wouldn't want to live my life curled up in a bed not knowing anything. Plus if I was like that it would be a lot less stress on my family financially. I tend to be more conservative also.

I say, let me die and get on with your life without me. This will allow you to let go and heal.
I am liberal and conservative.

I pray that my wife has the courage and the resources to have administered a gentle, lethal dose of morphine or another comparable drug.
