Yesterday as next of kin we had to decide on the end of life for the wife's auntie who was on life support in a hospital. We knew it would be her choice but as she had not given written instructions and was no communicative we had to almost retell her life story so that the doctors could agree that it would be a choice she would make.

Funny part of the medical ethics is that the doctors and the 'police' has no trouble turning off somebody's life support when they determine somebody's brain dead, regardless of whether the loved one like the idea or not. That is for financial reasons rather than medical reasons 'cos lifesupport systems cost a fortune to run and not many available so they need them vacant for new arrivals of patients. 'Brain deadness' is a tricky area.
