Your take on it is plausible

Response to Vegetative state is repairable with...

 

I don't know much about India, except it is one of the 4 largest powers on Terra by some measurements. Who funds the force-feeding of a person such as that for 36 years is a question, and probably leads eventually to less food in the mouth of some starving infant.

Pretty evident, though, that sort of care is way more costly than topping off a dewar for a few decades or centuries. "Who is going to pay for it?" raises its ugly ear. There are unmentioned other expenses, such as that of cleaning up what comes out the other end of the human happy.gif

Good luck on your crusade to promote organizations (where are they?) which will keep you alive-alive rather than frozen-alive until sci-fi scenarios of medical advances such as you depict, arrive on the scene. Cryo orgs, though, do what they do, and need vast improvements on that. Don't expect them to diversify into other avenues of life-preservation, until they can at least deliver what they already claim to do.

Happy Holidays,

FD
