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.

I can’t imagine making that decision, but at least you had someone there who could help you through it.

My father in law is a physician and I have made it very clear to him and in my living will under what circumstances to terminate life support.
