Yes, that is right. I think it was meant to stop futile medications like maybe antibiotics are doing no more good, but the ethicists have redefined it to rule on "futile life". We just went through all this with Andrea Clark and Mrs. Vo who is still alive.

Andrea Clark died within days of the Houston hospital reconsidering its decision to evict her, thus proving that the original "futile care" decision was the correct one.

Will you acknowledge that this case is distinctly different from the two you mention above? A ventilator is REQUIRED for this child to breathe.
