My thought on the situation is this.... she should be kept alive today; weather that is what she wanted or not. It should have been in writing and she should have signed a DNR or somthing. I just think if the is that one little off-chance that the husband is not telling the truth about this; it would be absolutley shameful. In addition, like Cpayne pointed out; its not like an "Immediate Death", this sucks. Shes been without food and water for seven days!! What the hell is that??? God I dont even know what side of the fence I'm on, but this situation is awful. I think awareness should be increased(and by this case it proboly is) about having a living will, incase somthing like that happened to you or a loved one. I could never imagine living like that. I feel awful for her parents too; just watching your kid die like that, truly terrible.

Living wills are a difficult thing to think about but they are very important. My family went through that with my dad this past fall (luckily he's better now) but it was pretty gut-wrenching to sit at the dinner table with my family every week and talk about what to do should the need arise.
