If I understand correctly, the first time the removal of life-support was mentioned was 7 years after the trauma.

That is correct.

For me, this is totally unethical to remove feeding from a person after 15 years of living this way.

For me it is totally unethical to stop feeding a human in order to cause the body to die, period. Would have been wrong the first day, first week, first month, and it is unethical now, to me.

It is perfectly ethical to the medical and legal professions.

Like I said, I can understand the DNR status and the removal of life support if that is the patients wish.

For the life of me, I cannot understand a judge ordering the feeding to be stopped after living this way for 15 years.
