Ednа (аge 82), аn avid sailоr, is оut оn the water with her husband Wilbur (age 85). A massive wind pushes the mast into Edna’s head, knocking her out cold. Wilbur calls the EMTs, and Edna is rushed to the hospital. Dr. Callahan tells Wilbur that Edna has suffered a disabling neurological injury and is now in a Persistent Vegetative State (PVS). She can breathe on her own, but requires a feeding tube. Dr. Callahan tells Wilbur he thinks it would best to remove the feeding tube. Assume that Wilbur is the appropriate medical decision-maker for Edna. Wilbur disagrees with Dr. Callahan. What is Wilbur’s best argument for why Edna should still receive the feeding tube?
