Do you call that LIFE?
Give me a break!!!
My wife and I have talked about a case like this, if something happens to us, and we both agree to be disconnected so the other person can go on with their life. Don't tell me that I have to sign a contract before notary because our word is not good.

First of all, you need to get your facts straight.
She is not on a ventilator, she breathes on her own.
She is not in a comatose state, she awakes and falls alseep and even yawns.
The only reason she is fed through a tube is that her husband does not want her to go through physical therapy to re-learn how to swallow liquids. Also note, that any body who breathes on their own have to swallow their own saliva by themselves, so she is not that far off from swallowing water and liquid food on her own.
As far as having other people clean your piss and shit, if we follow your thoughts, we might as well euthanize all paralyzed people.
DNR only applies in cases when somebody needs immediate ventilation or mechanical heart pumping, that's why it is called a "Do Not Rescucitate" order.
The husband already moved on to a new wife and has 2 children.
