To compare a brain dead trauma victim, or for whatever reason they are a vegtable, who's only way to live is for a machine to keep them alive is not the same as a premature baby who has brain activity but who's body just isn't strong enough yet because it did not recieve the proper growth time in the womb. To even compare the two is completely absurd. Noone is pulled off life support if they have brain wave acitivity, so why should we let the baby die? They still have a chance to recover. Even with that, there are times whem people who have been brain dead for months or even years, suddenly awake and go on to lead healthy normal lives.

For all we know Terry Schiavo could have awoke the next day. Its a decision her family will have to answer for and live with.
