One lesson to be learned here is, be careful of going into a hospital alive, you may come out dead through no fault of your own. In the hospital you become a ward of the state.
My wife and I were just discussing this. There are two factors: Doctors/Hospitals and Families. As to doctors, most of them have bought into the culture of death. If you listen to most experts, even on FOX NEWS, it isn't their medical knowledge that is sought, it is their moral ethics or the lack thereof (or the fancy word bioethics) that is sought out.
The problem with families is this. Probably a third of the families in this country don't get along that well. They are kinda glad when their mother/husband/daughter has gone to the grocery store so they don't have to be with them. They fight all the time or secretly wish them harm, though they would never lay a hand on them. But when an opportunity comes and a doctor supports them - Bye Bye!
This being human nature - it is only a culture of life (Respect for the Sixth Commandment and the Fear of God) that will keep us from killing each other.
