Then the answer is to move to Holland.

If I was going to be a vegetable for the rest of my life I would want to die. At the time I probably wouldn't realise that, but while I am of 'sound mind' I would not want to put my family in the position of financial hardship looking after me, and when I did finally die, remembering me as an incoherent lump of uselessness for a number of years, and being relieved when I have gone.

There are policies you can take out to pay for critical illnesses, but they don't really cover the full costs of caring for someone who is completely incapable.
