You heard from me last night in the forum, but to put it here as well (for that extra credit), loving someone is not something you turn off and walk away from when things get tough. At least, not for me. Your professor stated that people require sex and/or companionship and therefore could not sustain a one-sided relationship with a loved one in a coma. Either your professor is playing devil's advocate, or is a hopeless cynic. If the latter, my deepest condolences.

When you get involved long term, that means you stick around for the bad as well as the good. Severe illness, to me, is not a reason to leave.

If I truly loved her, and I knew she truly loved me, then I wouldn't care how long the coma lasted; the idea of leaving would never enter my mind, ever. True love is way too hard to find to just throw it away because of impatience.
