She made the decision to remove him from life support based upon the opinion of a neurologist. I don't think it was her wishes to do it but her wishes were also not to leave him on a ventilator. She was "damned is she did and damned if she didn't" so I guess you could say that it was a compassionate decision. As soon as he began breathing on his own he was hers, so to speak. From then on out she made sure that she had more than one opinion before proceeding with any of his following surgeries to relive pressure from his brain, his broken bones, etc. so she didn't "come aroun". She did what she would have done the whole time had she not been given the "you should do it because he is a vegetable" opinion by the attending neurologist.

What I find interesting is to compare this to Schiavo. Could it be that he is guilty of the same mistaken judgement? Does a mistake make him evil?
