Yes if she had a 'living will', and yes if everyone else in the family agreed if there was no living will. This should be a private, personal and/or family decision if it comes to this.

If a family can not agree together what to do and it must go to court like this, the court must err on the side of life, it does not have the right to decree that a person's life is forfeit as long as the person can survive without life supporting paraphernalia.
Food and water are requirements of every single one of us, to allow her to be deprived of the right to food and water by the state, means that anyone of us can be deprived of that right also by the state.
That's bullsh!t. It's not a communal decision. Her parents are no longer her guardians, and thus they have absolutely no right to made decisions about her well being as long as the husband is still legally in the picture. Until the time Michael Schiavo is proven unfit as a guardian, he's in charge.
It's disconcerting to know that you all would be willing to step in and run my life for if my wife (God forbid) was ever in such a situation. Frightening. It makes me question if you're actually conservatives, or just thugs who want to step in and make decisions on my behalf because you feel that I'm not capable of doing it myself. You're no different than the Liberals who think the Government should be making all the decisions.
