>>I don't want extraordinary measures taken to keep me alive, either if death is imminent and there's no hope of recovery but under no circumstance do I want to be starved or thirsted to death. That's murder.
I am not talking about feeding tubes. I am talking about choosing not to be kept alive when there is no hope of recovery (Tubes, Machines, wires, Surgery...). No one is saying she has a reasonable expectation of resuming independent life. She has stated (Before this happened) that she did not want to be kept alive if a vegetable. I would want her wishes honored, because I would want MY wishes honored. That's all I'm saying, honor HER wishes, not Michael's not the parents Hers.
Sometimes it is all about me, but not often enough :-)

Then let's kill everyone in this condition, if someone can come up with hearsay evidence about their wishes.
