Her life is over and she wouldnt be living today if it wasnt for the wonders of modern medicine. 15 years in a nursing home. What has she cost the taxpayers.
If her husband had something to do with her situation, he will have to answer for it one day.

Words to explain the absolute blackness of your heart fail me...
Matthew 25:34
Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.' 37 Then the righteous 16 will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?' 40 And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.'
And if you're wrong? Who will you answer to?
That's what they said in Germany, too.
But the feds will put more effort than that into demanding reserved parking places for 'vegetables' whether they will ever use them or not. The ADA demands that we educate children that are PVS. I've seen this in a special ed school --- but now they want to mainstream these kids!!!!
Her parents are willing to care for her at home, at their own expense. And she really hasn't required any hi-tech life support. Just a feeding tube. She is remarkably physically sturdy, as evidenced by her survival of 6 days without food or water the last time her tube was removed. If she's really as far gone as the doctors who've supported her husband claim -- i.e. she is totally unaware, and thus incapable of suffering -- then I see no harm in letting her parents take her home and do their best to help her, and plenty of potential benefit (even if perhaps only for the parents).
While I strongly disagree, you have framed the argument in its simplest form.
"To devote so much public resources to someone who is a vegetable is wrong. "
Do you feel the same way about stroke patients, ALS patients, cerebral palsy,etc..?
we could save alot of money
I've paid for one hell of a lot of stupid stuff in my twenty-plus years of paying taxes. When I compare it with $40 million down the tubes for a computer system my county had to scrap before they even fired it up, it just doesn't sound that bad.
