Within the medical and nursing community none of this is unknown. It is just that most people think there is nothing wrong with prematurely ending a person’s life. I call that murder but they call it ‘healthcare’.
It happens all the time in other areas of ‘healthcare’ too of course. Morphine and Midazolam etc are used all the time to finish people off. It’s called ‘end of life care’.
Modern medicine has decided that they have power over life and death and forget that there is a holy God who will require answers for every single death they were part of bringing about.

Two links that will point you in the right direction.

explain to the contrary that brain dead patients are clinically dead.
There may be people who abuse the system, there always is, but medically speaking medicine keeps people alive longer in many cases than they would naturally live without it.
Is that also wrong? The fact remains that life support artificially prolongs life, or artificially delays a physical death.
To turn off life support is not killing someone, anymore than to stop medicating someone is, it is just not artificially supporting life anymore. I am not arguing it should be done, I am simply stating that life and death are still in the hands of the Lord, you cannot alter that with medicines, one way or the other, if God says your time is up, then that is that. The information you provided has come from 2 websites that are totally unknown to me, what are their credentials? There are sites claiming all sorts of things as fact and we just have to be very careful in what we accept or believe these days with so much false information about.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206160/ is quite an interesting case in point. What a dilemma for all involved. I do think that we must be careful not to judge before the time, for the Lord knows much more than we do about the motives and morals of those who make these decisions and why they do it, and if there are alternatives.
