If she's brain dead, it's not like she's aware that she's starving to death. She's BRAINDEAD! If this were a hundred years ago and nobody had the miracles of modern medicine, she'd already be dead and this would be a moot point. Just because we have the capabilities of keeping someone alive, should we? Eventually the cost filters down to the taxpayers, and let's be honest, all the family are doing is prolonging their own suffering. Even her husband said that she wouldn't have wanted to live that way. So now the court systems are tied up and taxpayers are paying so that her parents who refuse to let go can fight to keep her alive (against her own wishes and her husband's), and all it's going to do in the end is cause even MORE grief. What's better, to dwell in the past, or to live in the now and keep the memories of the past in your heart? It's a sad thing, but she should be left to rest.
