I'm with the parents on this one, not so much whether the woman is brain dead or not, what irks me the most is that it appears the husband only wants her to die because he is the legal guardian and apparently he stands to inherit a handsome sum of $$ when she dies. And it also bothered me that he's moved on with his life with another woman before his wife is property laid to rest in peace. I don't know this guy but going by my own moral standards I have no reservations about calling him a scumbag.

Possibly. Though to me it appears that maybe her husband loves or at least loved his wife and he knows her pretty well. He claims she told him to pull the plug. Her parents don't believe him. Maybe she didn't but I doubt she said "keep me alive under any and all circumstances even if my brain is no longer working and I can't eat".
Are there any CPers out there who would like to be kept alive for years, decades maybe, when your brain and body have ceased to function? I know I wouldn't. I don't know anyone who would. Why would she be any different?
