I still think the Nazi comparison is quite apt.

No, it isn't. The Nazi party was about exterminating people, not just Jews...but gays, Christians who disagreed with them, etc.

The Nazi party was about control of the lives of its citizens, getting rid of guns, for instance.

As a history major, I can assure you there is a big difference between Nazi eugenics and an American court saying pull her feeding tube because it ruled it was HER desire....not the state or a political party.

Big difference. Of course, I believe the court was wrong that it was her desire. But, the comparison is not an accurate one unless we start offing people just because we find them inconvenient.
