Short answer; Life-support.
Long Answer; Jehovah's Witnesses follow the teachings of Jesus as he was taught by his father Jehovah. Though Jehovah's Witnesses are imperfect like all of mankind, they sincerely desire to do as Jehovah requires of them.
Jehovah requires that his people show respect for life and blood, in all situations that they may face in their lives. At times life will force them to perceiver under difficult circumstances. Life is very much sacred to Jehovah. This is key to Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs since Jehovah is the source of life. (Psalm 36:9) When one considers the life of an unborn child, it is precious to Jehovah. (Exodus 21:22, 23) Also, blood represents life. Thus blood also is sacred in Jehovah's eyes, thus to Jehovah's Witnesses. (Leviticus 17:14)
The answer should come as no surprise to us that Jehovah's Witnesses view life and blood as he does. A sacred gift.
Jehovah's Witnesses do desire to sustain life as long as possible, again since it is a gift form Jehovah, and love this gift dearly.
Although Jehovah's Witnesses love life, they will not try to save their present life by breaking God's law and thus jeopardize their prospect of everlasting life. (Matthew 16:25) With that view, they use all means available to save their lives.
However when life, as it unavoidably does, age beyond the point that it is maintainable, or when a sickness or and unintentional injury causes ones body to stop functioning so as to sustain life. Then it is a personal decision by the person and the loved ones of the person under this difficult circumstance to choose whether to sustain life through artificial means. It is neither unloving nor a sin to let this loved one fall asleep in death.
