What about people who proclaim they didn't want to get the vaccine because of their freedom, and then die from covid as a consequence? Did they still have their freedom when forcibly intubated while in a medically induced coma?
Maybe people consider death as the ultimate freedom, freedom from interference of society.
That is why people are supposed to have arrangements with other people who can decide for them when they are in coma. Usually it is family, but you can also designate other people.
At least in my country that is the case, not sure how the US handles it.
Certainly there are people who prefer to not be forcibly intubated. Or consider other cases where life supporting machines are even more gruesome.
