Did the woman in Italy have a wish not to be kept alive with no hope for recovery? Was that why the court ruled the way it did? Do the doctors say that she is in PVS? Is there other family that desires to keep her alive and provide for her every need? The story above left me with those questions.

You are missing the point, she NEVER indicated that she DID NOT want to and plenty of people in worse condition than her have recovered.

Do the doctors say that she is in PVS?

Yes, but the only doctors who subscribe this diagnosis are the ones who want to kill the patient.

Is there other family that desires to keep her alive and provide for her every need?

I'm not sure if there are other relatives, but there are plenty in the pro-life movement who are prepared to care for her.
