First let me say that you have my deepest sympathies, I could not imagine having to make that decision. But let me ask this, would you have agreed if she HAD NOT been brain dead?

Of course I wouldn’t agreed if she hadn’t been brain dead.
I felt fortunate we live in a state that requires three concurring opinions on declaration of brain death.
I was also fortunate in that her god-father - a devout practicing catholic who also is a cardiologist who has harvested hearts himself - - that he was allowed to witness the testing - evaluation of results - and consulted with the attending physicians.
