I'm all for quality of life and supporting individual decisions. I've seen people in severe pain who had no hope for a better tomorrow and I hope that if I were ever in that position, I would have an advocate who would help me if I were unable to voice my choice.
I understand that her parents want to see signs of something there... but if my loved one's doctors were telling me that there was no chance of improvement (and had been for 15 years), I would hope that I would be able to hear it and make a decision from an informed position.
