tortured to death

Emotional appeals don't exactly help your argument - they're more liberal claptrap. Taking somebody off mechanical life support is not "tortured to death." Words mean things, after all.

When the minority view became the default, the rights of the majority were cast aside.

That might not be the best argument you could make - I think you'll find that wanting the choice to be taken off a respirator is the majority view.

Besides, shouldn't the default be that the family makes medical decisions? If the state's call (either way) is the default, that's wrong.

The majority want a choice. The majority choose to live. The majority do not want to be denied basic care.

Do you have a clue what torture is? Stop eating and drinking, and then tell us how “euphoric” it is. It’s real easy for some folks to believe it’s no big deal when someone else suffers.
