I'm pretty sure that they're going to pump her up with some massive doses of morphine to try to ensure that she's in as little pain as possible.
It does sound pretty awful to let her starve to death, but the only legal way is to remove artifical means of supporting her life, and that means removing the feeding tube.
And Curtis' point is a good one; who would take care of her after her parents die?
The whole thing is just so sad...
