I don't know, it would depend on a lot of factors.
I know most people would not want to be kept alive.
That is why if you do not want to be kept alive, then you should have a living will and/or a DNR.
And if a living will/DNR is not available, then your next of kin should make the decision.
In the Schiavo case I do not agree with the court that says that the husband is the one to make the decision. In 95% of the case I would agree that it is for the spouse to make the decision, but in a case like that where the normal spouse has redone his life and is living with another woman, then he has lost his marital rights.
