Regardless, the important point for policy here is that "society" should not be choosing life or death here, as you say. That should be up to individuals, or their guardians acting in their interests. The role of the courts should be limited to determination of the guardian, and review of such things as what the individual would have wanted. In the Schiavo case Congress and others are intervening in this private decision, to make it a societal (i.e. government) decision. That's the scary part to me.
