The bottom line is they want to take her home and care for her themselves. I cant see what the big deal is with that. Wont cost the state anything. If she is as bad off as the other side would have us to believe, she would likely die anyhow under their care, if she's as well as the parents would have us believe they may be successful which would only indicate it was right not to EXECUTE her. jdn

There are thousands of PVS patients across the country kept alive in this manner. There are even more kept alive through significant care who have no hope of recovery. Probably because it's their wish to be kept alive. People who would wish to be kept alive are external to the question at hand so your point doesn't inform the discussion. I would be more useful to know how many there are being kept alive contrary to their wishes and how many have been allowed to die in accordance with their wishes. But there are probably no data on either of those, particularly the former.
