The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

I believe I would disconnect her. I can't see letting this linger. The lawyers are most likely telling the family "You'll never pay a dime, so let's keep her around. What would it hurt?" Keeping false hopes alive only delays the healing process for the family.

I agree with you on that one. I would not want to be kept alive, and know that many of my loved ones have told me that they do not want to be kept alive if something like this were to occur.
I see no need in prolonging something like this.
“It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.”
― Giordano Bruno
I'd give her some time. My trust in doctors opinions is rather low these days, and there's been a number of cases where they say something and get proved wrong in less than 24 hours.
That said, I wouldn't push it too far. A year at the very most. And if there's no indicator by then, pull the plug.
