I wonder if Reagan's advanced Alzheimer's makes him a candidate for "pulling the plug." Looking at the definition of "persistent vegetative state", I don't see why not. He won't ever recover. Just think how much money it would save if we could kill grandma once she gets senile and will never recover. AIDS patients, too. They frequently get brain infections and become ga-ga, and they aren't going to ever recover. I've represented as guardian at litem several profoundly retarded people who were being committed to a local facility. Funny thing is that they will all respond to a handshake with a responding grip of the hand.
