VI. Those Facing Death’s Necessity May Be Baptized Anytime

While we reserve the free vows of the safe and peaceful for these two connected feasts, we decree that this singular aid of salvation be denied to no one in mortal danger, siege, persecution, or shipwreck at any time.

What if, as an adult, they don't want it?

Then they will not receive it, and will not be saved...

And if they are baptized against their will, they are not justified

Can you baptise someone against parents will or someone in a coma?

Against parents will yes.

Coma not sure. If they have expressed desire for it in the past then yes. If under the age of reason then yes as well. If adult and they have said they don't want it in the past then you shouldn't. If they have never mentioned it I am not sure.
