It's comforting to know that we wouldn't dare treat our most sinister of criminals the way we're perfectly happy treating our seriously ill.

I agree, and why even shut off the feeding tube when she's just as alive in the wheelchair. She didn't even say that she wanted to be killed this way when she's brain damaged. And she cant even defend herself, even from her own parents and husband. I just think its messed up and its murder. Its like killing a retarded person.
