If it is truely her wish not to live like that then I say yes take the tube out. I know the only way I would want to be put on a machine or a feeding tube if it was only temporary and it would help me to get better. But, not for the rest of my life living like a vegtable. The US Government has no business getting involved in this case. It is up to the family. If it is true that the only reason the husband wants her to die is so he can get on with his life with his new family then he is a scumbag.
