I see the force of the considerations on both sides of this one. No
parent wants to bury their child. The heartbreak has to be unbearable.
At the same time, I actually have a 'living will' precisely because, if
I'm ever in a permanent vegetative state, I don't want to continue
indefinitely in such a condition, and I'd have real trouble resigning a
loved one to such a fate.

I feel bad for everyone involved in this case. There are no winners.
