If a person is on life support and they are taken off of it the plug pulled how long can live without it?

If a person is taken off of life support, the amount of time they can live without it depends on a number of factors, including their overall health, the reason they were on life support in the first place, and the type of life support they were receiving.

In general, a person can only live for a few minutes without breathing or a heartbeat. If they are on a ventilator, they may be able to live for several hours or even days without the machine. However, if they are on dialysis or other types of life support, they may only be able to live for a few hours or even minutes without the machine.

Ultimately, the length of time a person can live without life support will depend on their individual circumstances. If you are concerned about a loved one who is on life support, it is important to talk to their doctor about their prognosis.
