Keep Flying
This is a case stangely similar to abortion in that, how do you define the rights of those who cannot control their own life? Sure, this woman is technically alive, but according to her husband and to several doctors, she'd much prefer not to continue on this way, yet cannot say so herself. In the end, this boils down to the need for a living will, and also, it's a very tough situation for all involved.
I think, if the husband and doctors believe that it's best to let her fade away, that is the choice that ultimately must be made. Parents of course will have an emotional attachment and will be reluctant to have their daughter die, but, if I understand law correctly, the choice and power of attorney as well as the rights affirmed go to the spouse, so in the end, it is the husband who must make this decision.
As for what I'd do:
"keep me alive long enough to harvest any useful organs. Then, at the very end, take out the things I can't live without, like heart and lungs."
I believe that is a very noble thing to do and should be applauded.
Take care all.
