Sometimes there isn't a cord to pull. Most of the head injury people i worked with were on feeding tubes, not life machines. Their brains and bodies were functioning but they were physically unable to swallow or feed themselves.
The feeding tube has to be pulled out, or someone has to stop feeding you so you can starve to death.
That's where it gets tricky.
