What is the Church's teaching on keeping unconscious people alive?

We owe those who are permanently unconscious basic comfort care which includes food and water. "The sick person in a vegetative state... as the right to basic health care (nutrition, hydration, hygiene, warmth), and to prevention of the complications associated with their state...In particular, I would want to emphasize that the administration of water and food, even when it is provided by artificial means, always represents a natural means of preserving life, not a medical intervention. Its use is therefore considered ...morally obligatory... "(Pope John Paul II on Life Sustaining Treatment and the Vegetative State, March 20, 2004) Can a surrogate for a person in a "persistent vegetative state" refuse artificial nutrition and hydration for that person?

Can a person sign a living will that asks that no artificial nutrition and hydration be administered if he or she falls into a permanently unconscious state? The legal answer to both questions is yes. The moral answer may be no.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
