That’s a stretch.

Far more important to come to terms with mortality than extend life indefinitely.

Is it even still living to have a heartbeat but with motor control, limited or no ability to speak, and no memory? Is “living” in this way best for the next of kin?

I found a recent episode of the Making Sense podcast in this topic to be thought provoking. You might give it a listen.
