I'm probably being politically incorrect, but I think her husband probably did know her wishes and her parents should not interfere. The doctors say she is brain dead and so there really isn't a point in keeping her alive against her wishes.

Let me say first that I believe in "the right to die." In fact, I've got a document that says I do not want "heroic efforts" performed to keep me alive, and that if I'm ever in that sort of situation, that I should be allowed to die. My family and lawyer know about my wishes. I've made it clear to anyone involved who might be asked. There's no question that is my wish.

Now, to this case... There is NO evidence or proof that "the right to die" is really what she wanted, other than that of her (ex)husband, who's living with another woman, and has children by that woman. This isn't a "right to die" case... It's a "right to kill" case, and there are a lot of questions regarding his actions over the years.
