Well, let's try the argument from a different angle here. A person who is clinically dead/braindead is technically dead, though isn't so legally in most countries. So it matters legally, to begin with.

Secondly, the family might still consider the person alive (there is no such confusion for a corpse)?

Thirdly, intent: the intent of someone having sex with a vegetative patient is not that of a necrophile, as the person is still warm and breathing. So the intent might very well be to rape.

And number 4: Quite important here: There are a lot of different degrees of brain damage and coma. Unless the perpetrator had actual access to a brain scan of the patient,he could in no way know if the patient is braindead, braindamaged, or has a chance of full recovery. So he would not know if he's sticking his dick in a braindead shell or a person with the capacity to recover. Adding to that, again legally it might prove to be difficult to prove which type of state the patient was at the time of the sexual acts.

tl, dr: even if you choose to see a braindead patient as "dead already" - there is a whole lot of reasons that make it different from a corpse.

Nah.

I'm going at the angle that consent can't be freely given in any case. I understand that some people in this thread think that having sex with a dead body isn't considered rape, but to me there is no difference whether they are breathing or not.

Consent can also not be given by a plastic vagina used as a sex toy. It's not rape because sex toys are not people. Nor are dead bodies - even if they used to be.

Ah, you see that is the difference that I have with you. It matters because they use to be living -- interaction so of thing.
