OZZY OSBOURNE has instructed his wife SHARON to "pull the plug" on him if he ever falls into a coma - because he wouldn’t want to live in a vegeta tive state.
The former Black Sabbath rocker has called his survival into his 60s a "medical miracle" after years of hard partying and a near-fatal quad bike accident in 2003.
But the 61 year old admits he would want his partner to turn off his li fe support system if he ever suffered extreme brain damage and could no l onger care for himself.
In his health column for Britain’s Sunday Times magazine, he writes, "I ‘ve always told Sharon, ‘If I become one of my vegetables (sic), you have my permission to pull the plug.’ People say that’s going against God, bu t being a doctor is going against God, isn’t it? If you’ve got a headache , it ain’t God who reaches down and gives you the aspirin." Osbourne reveals he agrees with euthanasia activist Dr. Jack Kevorkian’ s controversial practices - but thinks strict regulations need to be esta blished before doctors can commit ‘mercy killings’.
He adds, "To a certain degree, I can understand Kevorkian when he says doctors should be able to help their patients top themselves. But knowing America the way I do, if it became legal, someone would end up doing a d eal: y’know, ‘If you pop my nan, I’ll give you 25 per cent of the inherit ance’ kind of thing. There are certain doctors over here - anywhere, prob ably - who’d kill you for 10 grand. Then you’d have aged relatives who’d feel pressured into taking the death juice ’cause they wouldn’t want to b e a burden. So I’d want there to be some kind of process, not just squeez e-this-trigger-and-you’re-gone, see ya."

A man who claimed to be MICHAEL JACKSON’s former bodyguard has dropped a lawsuit against TV bosses in Britain over a 2008 documentary about the fa mous family - just a day before the case was due to go to trial.
Several of the Thriller hitmaker’s brothers signed up to appear in The Jacksons Are Coming, a show chronicling their attempts to find a home in Devon, England.
Martial arts expert Matt Fiddes, who appeared alongside the singing sib lings in the programme, subsequently filed a lawsuit against bosses at U.
K. TV network Channel 4, claiming several scenes in the show were staged.
The lawsuit, which also targeted production company Studio Lambert, and the programme’s narrator, Jane Preston, further alleged the documentary falsely implied Fiddes had betrayed Tito Jackson by leaking stories to th e press.
The case was due to be heard at London’s High Court on Tuesday (22Jun10 ), but Fiddes has now dropped his legal action after acknowledging "the programme was not faked".
Channel 4 boss Julian Bellamy has confirmed Fiddes will not receive any money for damages or legal costs, and the TV network will not be issuing an apology.
Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, has also issued a statement, insis ting Fiddes was no pal of her late son.
The statement reads, "Fiddes, who said he was a friend, let us down bad ly. He tried to use us to his own advantage, and when things didn’t go hi s way, he behaved badly.
"Fiddes tried to pretend that he was a close friend of my son Michael, but when I spoke to Michael about him, he could not remember who he was. The whole family was deeply upset by interviews he gave shortly after Mic hael’s death which no friend would have done.
"You have to stand up to people like this."

RUPERT EVERETT has blamed his failure to secure a permanent role in BOSTO N LEGAL on his horrible driving skills - because he arrived on-set frazzl ed with nerves after negotiating the roads of Los Angeles.
The actor was delighted when he was cast as a litigator in the legal dr ama - but he only appeared in two episodes and admits he "blew" the oppor tunity after failing to impress producers.
But Everett is convinced he would have done better if he didn’t have to drive to the studio himself.
He says, "With American TV they work so hard and do 10-minute scenes in one take, which I find very difficult. Also I had to drive to work, and I’m not a very good driver and I’d be in such a state by the time I got t o the studio, I could hardly say my name - let alone my lines. That was a big opportunity - and I blew it."
