We dealt with this with our precious daughter.
3 physicians confirmed the checklist and signed the declaration.
I can say - if there was any doubt at all - we would have erred on the side of life.
Why? Because if anyone is going to hold onto a sliver of hope - it will be the parents.
And maybe at present it appears nothing can be done for these patients.
Yet we read of new cases and studies all the time - they are finding there is more “there” in the brain than previously thought.
New studies - new therapies - new technology.
Hope
In the situation I saw first hand, it was very obvious that the baby was deceased. Tragic situation and tests went on for 3 days.
However, have you heard of the situation where dad stopped doctors with a handgun from removing his son from life support and harvesting organs? Son recovered and is alive today.
