Love your word choice. Parents have been begging the courts for years to please let them take care of their kid, saying that hubby wasn't doing what he should. Courts kept saying, no, go away, he's acting in her best interests. They keep trying. Nope. Now, hubby says, kill her, it's time. Parents STILL say, let us take care of her, please. Courts say, nope, hubby's her boss, not you. Go away while we kill your daughter.
I'm not arguing that she's coming back, nor that the fed action was right. Just that this has been a horrid example of merciless proper procedure over humanity.
And you leave the parents right out of your either/or choice.
(And seemingly forget that almost 50% of the Dems who voted, voted for the bill, too.)
