Consciousness is irrelevant in the ending of the life. The elderly person could be unable to function. People when sleeping have nearly no consciousness.
Right, but people in a chronic vegetative state don't wake up. If you were going to spend the rest of your life asleep with no higher brain functioning, would you want your kids to come visit veggie you on Sundays? They could give you a sponge bath and turn you so you don't get bed sores. Unpleasant for everyone. They've already lost you, let them move on. Pull the plug.
