My BIL is in the same situation and has been for 10 days. It has finally occurred to everyone, he isn't going to recover. He has severe brain damage from being starved of oxygen. The trouble is, he had extensive conversations with his family telling them he doesn't want to end his life this way [as a vegetable] so the medical staff have asked the family whether or not if he has another heart attack, to revive him and all of them have said NO, no reviving. Everyone is now in limbo and he cannot stay in ICU forever.

It is so sad for Natasha Richardson's family, but at least they'll get to grieve and recover eventually.

Our friend Charlie' mother just died in hospital after 14 years of being a vegetable.....14 years she has been in a hospital after collasping from a brain hemorrhage at 70. I think it is the cruelest thing we do to people. There are worse things than being dead and that is to be half dead.
