WHICH next of kin Penelope
what about the OTHER next of kin who believed otherwise?
Imagine a "democratic vote" where the court sides
with one vote and throws out all the rest.
This is a matter of SPIRITUAL BELIEFS,
as there was no written directive specifying what
the man wanted. Any decision would be based on faith.
If you don't believe in imposing religious beliefs
through govt, how can you justify taking one person's
belief and forcing the rest of the family to compromise theirs!
As long as the rest of the family is willing to get financial support to
pay for the care, why not let them exercise their religious beliefs?
If the one family member and the state don't want to pay the costs,
LET OTHER PEOPLE PAY WHO ARE WILLING TO TAKE THAT ON.
Very strange Penelope.
We wouldn't tolerate Jihadists killing off people they don't believe in letting live
under their regime.
Go let them live someplace else that AGREES to let them live!

His next of kin wanted it:
The 42-year-old had sustained severe brain damage following a car accident in 2008 and had been living in a vegetative state.
Medical experts had determined that his situation was irreversible.
For more than five years, legal battles have raged between his family members over whether he should be kept alive, igniting a watershed debate in the country and drawing in international bodies, the French President and even Pope Francis.
In May, that fight appeared to have finally reached its end, with a judicial ruling that allowed doctors to take Lambert off life support.
That decision, in line with the wishes of his wife and siblings, followed a similar conclusion from the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. It prompted doctors to begin the process of "passive" euthanasia, which is legal in France.
