What is your opinion on Jahi, the little girl in California who is legally dead while her body breathes?

This 13 yr old little girl went in for a simple procedure to relieve her sleep apnea and ended with complications causing her to be brain-dead.
The family is saying that the hospital must have messed up somehow and the little girl will come out of it eventually, so they are moving her to another facility rather than taking her off the breathing machine.
The hospital is saying that they did nothing wrong, but wanted to declare her dead 3 days after surgery. After that it turned into a legal battle with a court order being necessary to move the child rather than remove her from the machines (from what I understand.)
What do you think about this from a medical and legal standpoint, or even a parental view?
