From personal experience I know/believe that one can sometimes exist outside of the physical body. What I don't know is how tied down we are to our living body. I would fear that keeping the body alive might prevent the spirit/soul from moving on to wherever it is supposed to go when we die. Therefore I would want to be killed as soon as the doctors said it was pretty much hopeless.
Also I would not want to bankrupt my family in an effort to prolong a vegetable type existence.
