I am asking for your views. I believe this is a very difficult question to answer.
Suppose a girl goes into a hospital for a surgery. The doctor screws up the surgery so badly that the girl's heart and brain no longer function; however, the doctor is able to hook her up to a ventilator, which pumps blood for her and helps her get oxygen throughout her body. After several days the girl makes no recovery.
Would it be right for her to be unplugged?

I agree, unless it's me or one of my loved ones. I'd want to hold out for a miracle.
