If nothing is stipulated in a living will it indeed becomes a huge mess like in this case. Personally, I would want to receive a lethal injection if I were ever significantly brain damaged. After all, your brain is you! Defing significant is still a problem though, and it would have to be layed out in great detail. Dr. Kevorkian may be nutty but I don't think assisted suicide is. It can be a very legititmate option and not just an unnecessarily taboo subject.
