Sorry Loryn, you are wrong on most points in this post.....
If she is is being fed and kept hydrated she is on basic life support. Andvanced life support, which I assume you are refering to, is artificialy keeping a patient breathing. It dosnt have anything to do with the cardiac system in anything but an emergancy situation, and is only performed for a few mins at a time.
