After two weeks???? It would be a different story if he were declared brain dead, but just "the doctors don't think he will recover" is not nearly enough (not that I think anything short of that could be) for the court to order removal from life support.
At the end of September my cousin suffered a massive stroke during surgery and the doctors didn't expect her to survive. After about two weeks they told my aunt & uncle that she would go into cardiac arrest from the brain swelling and they wanted them to sign a DNR. They refused.
It is now almost 3 months later. In that time she has been weaned from a respirator, has partial movent in her limbs and just last week she spoke for the first time since the stroke.
Doctors are not God and two weeks is a ridiculously short period of time to decide to give up hope.

The decision was made to wean him from the respirator and place him in God’s hands.
Within a few weeks he was awake and began a recovery. Although he never fully recovered, he recovered enough to live out another 8 years of active life. His main trouble was a speech impediment.
2 weeks is too short a time to decide it is hopeless, by the information given in the article.
