Good answer, Waz. Unfortunately, in the end, it's the family's decision, since they have right of attorney.
Another thing: How many of you have even thought of this subject? My mother works in the burn unit of an emergency room. She talks of nothing but people who are hanging on by a thread, who should have died a long time ago, yet their family wants to provide them with care, even though they'll never recover, never get back to normal, and forever need critical life support...
Yes, I've thought about it a lot...
