A person in a coma is still a living person since his vital organs are still working and able to perform their necessary functions. His/her cells continue cellular respiration and processes.
Explanation:
When someone is comatose, they are merely unconscious for an indefinite period of time. This just means that they cannot "think", but their brains can still work. The brain can still send commands to the body, which includes functions such as breathing, metabolizing, etc. The person is still considered living because s/he still undergoes biological processes.
