We observe patients lying in coma in hospitals virtually supported by machines which replace heart and lungs.The patient has no self conciousness.Are such patients who never come back to normal life,living or non living?

They are living even though they have no self consciousness. They have cellular organisation which is a defining feature of all living organisms.

Please approve if my answer is correct.

_{of course they are living because the defining property of metabolism still revives in them .also they have proper cellular organization.So definitely they are living.they become dead when their metabolism stops.}

he is living because biochemical reaction is occurring in his body and main thing is that his mind is not dead

Truely that person is living because though his heart and lungs are replaced by machines or he is brain dead doesn't prove that he or she is non living the main reasons which proves that he is living are:::::-----

1): Metabolism:-- in his body this process is still going on because the blood is still flowing through his veins.

2):: Cellular Organisation::- as human is multicellular organism it means he or she possess Cellular Organisation grade.

It doesn't matters that he has no self consciousness but he is living one you can't prove him non living

yes person is living because all chemical internal metabolic reaction occur throughout the body and also according to me for internal work brain give the order. i think the person who is in coma who only can’t give the responce to outside.
