What does being in a vegetative state mean?
A vegetative state is absence of responsiveness and awareness due to overwhelming dysfunction of the cerebral hemispheres, with sufficient sparing of the diencephalon and brain stem to preserve autonomic and motor reflexes and sleep-wake cycles.

Treatment is supportive. Prognosis with persistent deficits is bleak, and withdrawal of care should be discussed with family members.

Why is prolonging life for terminally ill patients such a difficult issue for physicians?
There has to be a balance between respect for life at all costs, and the reality of maintaining and using scarce resources for those who are healthy and/or those whose illnesses can be cured. It is a dilemma, and an ethical issue that we have not really solved at state or federal levels. Is it reasonable for us to maintain someone who is in a persistent and intractable vegetative state even if the vegetative state may last for many years? If someone is conscious but terminally ill and either in unbearable pain or in a medically induced coma, should a patient's desire to end the pain be recognized as a legitimate treatment given the physician's oath to 'do no harm'? Could it be argued that maintaining life while there is no quality of life whatsoever is really a form of doing harm?
