the spouse wanted to maintain life support and the parents wanted to let their offspring "be allowed to die".

We sort of talked about that earlier on the thread, and I said it is best to write your own written directions!!!

But she's incapacitated and has lost the "right" to change her mind on the directions - dosen't that mean the parents get to decide that for her also ?

What if she WROTE down that her husband gets to make the decisions for her ? Would that be as legal as if she wrote that her parents get to make the decision for her ?
