Indeed, they want to respect their daughter's wishes

After several years of debate, the disconnection of Nancy has finally arrived.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the decision given on appeal due to lack of evidence.
So, Nancy's parents searched for new evidence of her will and succeeded in finding sufficient evidence.

The trial
Debate on euthanasia
Opinion
The 14th Amendment: the protector of individual liberties
Jurisdiction over euthanasia remains with the states, not the federal government.
An act was adopted in 1997 prohibiting the use of federal funds to finance assisted suicide.

More and more rights granted to patients
The right given to the patient to refuse a treatment will be granted by the law of 1990
It's now up to the patient to decide if they needs someone to make medical decisions for them in the case of disability.

Our opinion
There is still a lot of debate around the world, the question is still far from being settled.
On one hand, there are those who wish to relieve people in a permanent vegetative state.
On the other hand, there are those who remain hopeful that the person will recover.
