    One of the things that bothers me is she seems to be aware of what's going on around her. So, doesn't that make with holding a feeding tube murder? If not, why not just be more humane and give her a shot of something to stop her heart like they do animals?
    NOTE: I'm not saying they should do that, it's just a question of who has the right to decide these things.
    One thing I do know, if my dad had been that aware when they stopped feeding him, I would have moved heaven and earth to give him a chance to recover. We all have our ideas of what we would do but until we are faced with it personally, you don't really know what it's like.

    Since her family are denied access to her, don't be surprised if she 'suddenly' dies before they get to see her again.
