This article was on the BBC about patients in vegetative states who can be communicated with, very early stages but opening up the idea that people may not be as 'brain dead' as we think, these would be another group to be at risk from others making choices for them
I can imagine quiet a few old people who were an inconvenience on their families would be in danger too, think of the money saved for inheritance if years of nursing/ care home bills don't have to be paid for. Maybe a bit cynical but there are plenty of arseholes about.
