If legal definitions of death were modified to mean death of the higher brain but not necessarily the lower brain, patients with no cortical function would be considered legally dead and life support would no longer be necessary or required, making it legal to withhold life support in such cases. However, assisted suicides, mercy-killings, and overdoses of pain medication would still be considered illegal and unethical practices.
