But the desire to live depends on person from person and the question whether life support should be withdrawn when a person is not able to express his or her consent is very complex one especially in a country like India where chances of it being misused are very high. I remember an incident where I saw a very old lady being forced to sign some peoperty documents by her relatives just outside registrar's office, therefore I feel in a country like India this kind of step should be taken very very carefully.
