Agreed. The committee met, the doctors met with the committee and one presumes the family, the family met, the patient met with everyone, then the decision was made.

Hardly an emergency procedure.

I can ASSURE you that the committee is not required to meet if the doctor believes death is imminent, otherwise it would be impossible for the hospital to obtain insurance.
