Why are you apologizing to me for stating an opinion that has no relation to any opinion I've claimed as my own?
One could easily argue however that being unrepentantly homicidal due to psychological issues is forfeiting the right to live since the only purpose they can serve is to endanger others and draw resources.
Keeping a comatose person who has not expressed the desire to live or die in their circumstances alive is far less pointless and from a moral standpoint protecting the right to life of an innocent and potentially contributing member of society outweighs the pragmatism of supporting and nurturing an effectively rabid animal.
