I think the issue is who decides? That is a lot of power. I have a problem with who decides, especially if they block possible diagnosis/treatment by other medical people.
I personally knew of a little girl in a coma from brain injury and her parents were told it was time to let her go. The parents instead had her transferred to a neurological institute in another state and she ended up recovering.
I have a real problem when the people with the power refuse to let patients be taken elsewhere for other possible treatment.
If I were told a loved one was brain dead and needed to be removed from life support, I would sure want to be free to take that person for another evaluation, other possible treatment. I am very much against them legally keeping family from seeking other answers.
There are all sorts of stories about life ‘and’ death of patients...but generally we don’t here much of those who permitted their loved one to die naturally, it only seems those fighting this get the headlines. So I don’t base my opinions on any of them.
Frankly it’s nobodies business but the families..and I have a serious problem with those who make it public.
