I believe that it should be up to God. If he wants the person to stay alive, they'll survive when the feeding tubes are removed.

Thirteen years is far to long. If there is hope right around the corner, that is a different story.

My biological father was on life support in 1979. My poor mom was only 22 years old and had to make that decision. My grandmother wanted to keep him alive, but my mom chose to take him off. I think it was a good decision. My dad wouldn't want to be a vegetable the rest of his life.
