You have your facts wrong. She was not brain dead. The only artificial assistance she had was a feeding tube, because the portion of her brain that would allow her to eat was mush. Her brain still functioned sufficiently to keep her heart beating and her lungs respirating, among other things. She was not on life support, which would make this debate slightly different.
