As far as decisions. I would wonder really if all families could make the right decision? Stay and take care of this sick person. Or let them die, and move on. Sometimes we humans take the easier route. Rather then the right route.
I don't really have a good answer for this. It is a dilemma, certainly. But I think that on the whole it is perhaps better to trust in human nature, and allow people to have the opportunity to do the right thing.
Some of the people on my friends list have good reason to doubt that their families would act in their best interest if they are in this situation. I honestly don't know what to say to that, except that I fear that it is perhaps a worse evil for an authority to make a statement that removes any possible options from consideration.
