The "supportive of life" comment is the best I have seen.
This kind of makes you look at the situation in a different light doesn't it?

Reminds Me Of A Movie
A few years ago, a movie came out starring Julia Roberts called Sleeping With The Enemy. I haven't had the chance to see the whole thing, but I know what it's about and got to see the last part of it on TV.
It has to do with a woman thinking that she's finally gotten away from her dangerously-abusive husband, only to have him to manage to track her down in spite of her not only moving to another town and changing her appearance but, also, changing her ID.
With Terri, just when it seems she's going to finally be free of Michael, he shows that he can still lord it over her.
To the best of my recollections, Julia Roberts' character was finally free of her husband by the end of the movie (I think her current boyfriend killed him when he came to their house to kill her, but I might be remembering this wrong).
Although I'm not asking that someone kill Michael, I hope Terri gets divorced from him--and, not only that, I hope Terri (or, if she can't personally, someone representing her best interests) will put a restraining order on him where he could face lengthy jail time for stalking her and/or her other family members and friends.
I feel just like you do. If I'm an actual corpse (not merely brain-damaged but actually dead) just keep life-support on me long enough to harvest my organs for others.
But, as long as I'm actually alive, I want to be "full-code."
And I definitely want food and fluids. They aren't (as was said in something I read somewhere) life-support but, instead, supportive of life.
Peace!
