It won't take long for the parents to lose their voice in this decision, either. It will eventually be based on an unemotional, cost-burden/benefit ratio. For example:



Form T1: Termination Evaluation


Patient life expectancy:   63 years  
Cost to preserve life at adequate levels :   10K/yr * 63 yrs (630,000)  
Expected productivity of patient :   1  
Cost Benefit Ratio* :   630,000 : 1  
Termination status :   1 (Immediate termination)  

*Cost benefit ratio exceeding 4 requires immediate termination
