Discuss the challenges of caring for a loved one living with a life-threatening illness
If you had only a 1% chance of coming out of a long-term coma or PVS, would you want physicians to keep treating you or would you rather they let you die? Why or why not? What burdens or benefits would continuing treatment place on your family and loved ones? 2. If families are having difficulty coming to a consensus about the death of a relative in a coma, is it permissible for physicians to resolve the conflict by saying the person has died and then withdraw life support without telling the family? What if the physician does this because he believes he will save the hospital money and help the family move on with their lives? 3. What do you feel is the proper role of state and federal government in cases like Nancy Cruzan and Terri Schiavo? Should it protect vulnerable patients and assume the worst in families, or should it assume the best in families and give them wide latitude to decide? Please cite your sources.
