Oh and here is another possibility. The part of her brain that is damaged may only be for motor skills. Her brain may be active in the way she thinks, but cannot move.

If the media is right about her situation, then I think the tube should be removed. I think it would barbaric not to remove it. My opinions are based on how the media is showing the situation. A few minor changes in her situation and then my opinion completely changes.
