It doesn't seem to be about respecting the wishes of the person or of the next of kin. What's weird about this article is its use of the word "doctors", in the same way that one would use the word "police". Compare the following statements:
"Police believe a city woman who was kidnapped on Thursday is in extreme danger, and they are asking for the public’s help in trying to find her." - Union Leader
"Rejecting a bid by the parents, a British judge on Thursday upheld a court order allowing doctors to let a critically ill baby die if she stops breathing - a move doctors say is the only humane way to end the child's suffering." - Associated Press
As if there is only one, nationally unified body of doctors in Britain and when they speak, they speak for all doctors.
