They will die if you wish to be unplugged. The question is whether you are legally, or perhaps even morally, obligated to remain connected to them against your wishes.
The analogy takes every aspect of a pregnancy into account, and even treats the fetus like a full grown adult so there's no ambiguity.
Some flatworms depend on the human body to survive but that doesn't mean that the host is obligated to feed them.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
