at end of life when the organs fail and the family keeps someone on a ventilator the person looks bloated, sometime blood coming out of the mouth and/or eyes, the skin turns yellow.

It's really horrible.

Most people who hear this woman "is being kept alive on a ventilator" have no idea what that looks like. They just think it looks like how people on a ventilator look on tv or movies.
