A few things sorta screw me up on this one.
1) I question the husband's motives. He stands to benefit by getting life insurance money. So he's all for pulling the plug.
2) Her parents want to take care of her, even if her husband doesn't. Can't help but feel for the parents.
3) She is in a persistent vegetative state - but there some cognitive ability (for example, can recognize family members).
All I can say is...get your living wills dusted off and make your wishes clear in writing (after you've given very careful thought to it). And if you change your mind, for heaven's sake get it updated.
