This sounds like the Terri Schiavo case in Florida. The sad thing about that one is that it turned into a political circus, with both Jeb Bush (FL governor) and his brother, then-President George W. Bush, getting involved in keeping her alive.
We really push DNRs and living wills these days so people can set guidelines as to how they want to be saved or not, but those things don't really occur to people in their 20s. Usually if they have chronic conditions, though, the parents (and the child, if mentally able) do try to make out living wills.
I work in hospice. It's a tough business sometimes.
