Exactly my point. At what point is someone's life "not worth living"? Everyone has a RIGHT to life without extraordinary measures of survival - e.g. a ventilator, not a feeding tube.

I might argue over 'extraordinary measures of survival' since new research can make problems recoverable that were not before. However this is a case where she is being denied OLD technology and PROVEN therapy techniques that could help her. This is no where near that grey area or fuzzy line that is 'extraordinary measures of survival' so on this we are in total agreement.
