So do you consider a person who is totally dependent on life support to be alive? This person cannot enjoy life physically or mentally and is a vegetable. Is this person alive?

the keyword "life support" Vegetable state is not really death, it will be death if the life support system is taken out. As for your question, i don't know. I mean a vegetable state person vital organs are still working, what is not really working its the brain which is in a state of comma, so this person is really alive, not as an animal...but as a plant...

alive(p): (often followed by `with') full of life and spirit; "she was wonderfully alive for her age"; "a face alive with mischief"
animated: having life or vigor or spirit; "an animated and expressive face"; "animated conversation"; "became very animated when he heard the good news"
alive(p): (followed by `to' or `of') aware of; "is alive to the moods of others"
active: in operation; "keep hope alive"; "the tradition was still alive"; "an active tradition"
alert: mentally perceptive and responsive;"an alert mind"; "alert to the problems"; "alive to what is going on"; "awake to the dangers of her situation"; "was now awake to the reality of his predicament"
capable of erupting; "a live volcano"; "the volcano is very much alive"

The vegetable person cannot be happy, due to the coma. The person possesses life, but to what extent? Does one have to be all or most of these things to be alive?

Nice.
Alive has many definitions, people tend to disagree on them when in reality they're all right.
