I was reading a forum which dealt with the issue of Euthanasia. I forgot to save the link or I would provide it for you. But I do remember the comment that triggered this blog...

As a part of the discussion the comments had reached the point where different people were posting comments about the 'quality of life' and how a vegetative state would not be one in which most of us would want to remain alive.

The comment that prompted this blog was, and I paraphrase..., ' even in a vegetative state I think I am fulfilling my purpose.'

First. What makes you think you have a purpose different from mine? I am sure that my purpose is not fulfilled by lying in a comatose vegetative state. So, unless you profess to be someone better than me, your purpose isn't fulfilled by being a vegetable.

Second. I think that if your purpose were to be fulfilled by lying in a comatose vegetative state you would have been better made a carrot and not wasting my bandwidth with spurious noise.
