What are some reasons it was a bad thing to do?

They starved her to death. I'm sure that's painful. It's just cruel. If they had put her to sleep, fine. But they starved her.
Plus her husband was suspected of causing the damage to her brain, so he probably killed her to cover up what he'd done because she was making small steps of progress.

Many people are very misguided about thinks such as this. I have worked in the medical feild for many years and this is the way I look at it.
First of all she had a very very small chance of ever regaining any form of her abilities.
Secondly people like this are unable to pay for the care they receive. Now I know many will get upset with this but from a medical facility standpoint a medical facility can't afford to keep someone on life support when they rarely ever get reimbursed a fraction of the actual cost. And no medicare or medicaid doesn't pay nothing that will amount to anything.
Lastly it is just a matter of decency if you ask me. Who in there right mind, even if thye were mentally stable, lie paralyzed or as a vegatble for the rest of there life
Its not the public's responsibility to care for everyone just because there family refuses to accept reality
People die get over it
It is just a fact of life

If not being hooked to life support was what she really wanted, there was nothing wrong with it. Her husband was just doing what she wanted (According to him, she told him this). The parents refused to believe it and kept prolonging the taking out of the feeding tube. I don't think there are any reasons why it was a bad thing to do. She was in a vegetative state for over 15 years and all the doctors said there was no chance for recovery. So, like I said earlier, if this was her wish it was the right thing to do.

She was not dying. She was breathing on her own and the only reason she couldn't swallow food on her own was that her husband refused to let the nurses feed her this way. From lack of practice, she more or less lost the ability to swallow, and was fed through a stomach tube. This was the "life support" that proponents of her death talked about.
She responded to her parents, and laughed at funny stories.
Her parents wanted to take care of her at no cost to her husband, but he still wanted her to die.
When she was alive, she expressed the idea that if she were severely disabled, she would still want to go on.

She was still alive and was starved to death. Her husband wanted to get remarried and for some reason didn't want to divorce her and let her parents take care of her. I think it's a real tragedy.

One thing that bothered me is the husband and parents disagreed. The parents said they'll take care of her. People say it is not our business to stick out nose into their personal matter, but I don't understand why the husband wouldn't just let her parents take care of her.

her most recent death was a tragedy. her original death was hell, it left her with no quality of life and her parents love was mis-guided by trying to hang on to their daughter. my opinion. I hope to never have to make that choice. I might choose selfish also. It's never easy to lose a loved one.

It was a judgement call for someone. And that "judgement" wasn't ours. ... Pray to God- it never is... -and we have to listen to the unasked for judgements of others.
