For me the question is are they refusing to help her die, or actually forcing her to live? In some situations it's not possible to do one without the other, and that's the issue for me.
Euthanasia is never cut and dry of course. But I hate the idea of forcing people to live against their will.
I understand that people who temporarily aren't in their "right mind" need to be protected from themselves. I'm totally down with that. But what needs to be considered, in my opinion, is whether they are in the most lucid state of mind you can reasonably expect them ever to be in.
So as others have said, I would need more details.
