If someone has reached a state of unconsciousness or a coma and is hooked up to tubes and it is 100% certain that they will never regain consciousness again, is it permissible to remove them from life support? I know euthanasia is absolutely forbidden, but I haven't found a clear answer to this issue. If this is not allowed, is that person supposed to be hooked up to tubes indefinitely?
