From the q.. The physician decides when the pt. is dead.
What if there are no more tx. options (PATIENT IS CORTICALLY DEAD) and the family insists on treatment?
Answer: If there are no options, there is nothing the physician can do, treatment must stop.
Other thing is:
What if the physician thinks continued tx. is futile ( the pt. has shown no improvement) but the surrogate insists on continued tx?
Answer: Of course the treatment should continue.
Now.. what do you think about the Teri Schiavo case?
