And people can disagree with the case you have made or are unconvinced by your arguments. Additionally, they can be selfish.
What is your suggestion on how to reconcile that with any definition of death?
Taken to the extreme, this would mean that cryonics would have to be both refunded by state and by insurance companies since it can technically put off actual death (information theoretic) somewhat forever, much cheaper than critical care.
Though most families of people in PVS wouldn't want that.
