Hi Dana, I'm writing off list because I'm still curious about your position and I value your opinion. I do understand the horror of starving someone to death and therefore the feeling that there has to be another way because this way seems so wrong. I think that's your general position. What I'm curious about, though, is how you'd suggest we solve this *as a matter of policy*. As I said, if there is a better way, then we have to find the policy that brings that way to fruition. To me there are only a few alternatives in the case that the patient is unconscious and their wishes aren't known: 1.) The gov't or a gov't agency always decides. 2.) The family decides in a specific order, but is always government verified. That is, if the family agrees we check it out, if they don't we check it out. 3.) We always let the family decide unless they disagree and then the government decides. 4.) We always let the family decide unless they disagree and then the decision is investigated. 5.) We let the family decide in a specific order and they are investigated. So my questions is what policy do you advocate and how does it apply in this case? Thanks, gg PS - I need to know to save my Easter weekend :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
