Actually this is the typical venue when parents and spouses disagree and there is no living will. Insurance policies with big payoffs are usually cited as the reason either the parent or spouse is in favor of pulling the plug (not to imply that these cases are common, they aren't and certainly none have appeals and moved up and down the courts as much as this one has). Many people, however, wouldn't think of this because they either have living wills or have discussed the issues with both parents and spouse or the parents and spouse know the person well enough to agree on what the person would want.
