There is a difference between ordinary care and extra-ordinary care. You have to feed and hydrate them. You have to clean their crap up. You do not have to keep giving them non-nutritional life care. This not limited to a respirator, but any extra care given that you wouldn't have to give a healthy person.
So, it would be inhumane to stop giving them food and water, even in PVS. However, if they also need a respirator or some medication, those can be removed. The object is never to kill the person.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
