Or should parents and children have a say?
I think it should be a parent's legal right to make the choice.
I have a friend in this situation right now. His sister is in a coma and her husband wants to remove her from life support and her family wants to give it more time. I don't know a lot of the medical details beyond the fact it's only been one week and she has had a couple responses to stimulation.
So, the family is not able to give it more time, per the husband's insistence in taking her off life support. I can't even imagine being my friend and his family right now.
