Actually, she doesn't have the ability to chew and swallow. They did try to ween her from the feeding tube at one point, but it didn't work. She's that severely brain damaged.

Letting nature take its course is not execution. From your statement, it would logically follow that anyone that signed a "Do not resuscitate" Order wished to be executed. Execution would involve changing her body in such a way that it couldn't survive. In this case, they are just removing the artificial means by which life was preserved.
