At what point would you say the facts trump the family?

Do we have to wait for decay to set in?

Heart machine, ventilator, feeding tube relaced by IV nutrition, ulcers putrifying .... where is the irrevocable end?

This man already has a venilator and ulcers which are only kept from putrifying by painful procedures. His body is contracted.

When would you stop?

If you can't get a court to go your way, plead it to Congress. It seems to be the going rave these days.

One question I would ask: how is his heart? In this case, I imagine that sepsis from the ulcers will set in sooner or later, and once that happens, he will die, no matter what kinds of machines he is hooked to. This really isn't the kind of situation Terri is in.
