Pardon the phrase, but over my dead body. And I am worried sick this crap will land on our shores in short order - I don't want a Dutch style euthanasia policy here.

You're better off than we are Ivan, I am horrified that this is happening before our eyes and the courts do NOTHING. Most disturbing of all is that I just found out not one single one of the judges has ever bothered to go see Terri for themselves.
The culture of death is in command at present.
Just watch what happens here if she dies.
Many here, including myself, are convinced Terri was nowhere near 'vegetative' (as if a human could be a rutabaga).
Right now the deathists say no; persistent vegetative state is repeated ad infinitum.
Next time, when it's only someone's grandmother who is clearly responsive but not vocal, they'll justify that killing by suddenly remembering that Terri was not really vegetative.
That's why Terri is the perfect test case for the deathists. On the one hand, she's far enough gone that the people are divided about it, and they can slip this death in; on the other hand, she's functional enough that they can use her as a stepping stone to their next case.
We obviously need an anti-euthanasia bill passed on the national level. Stop the 'slippery slope' now (are human bones slippery? That's what this slope is made of). It fully lies within Congress' real constitutional powers to ensure that Life as well as Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are ensured.
