The San Francisco Chronicle's "Two Cents" feature today has comments from people responding to the question, "Have you ever participated in the decision to remove life support?" Every blogger, reporter, and politician out there has weighed in on this subject. It's worth reading this piece for its first-person accounts by those who have actually wrestled with this problem firsthand and might actually know whereof they speak! Interestingly, there are a handful of accounts of people who decided not to "pull the plug" and the patients recovering seemingly miraculously. Sometimes, it's a matter of following your gut, I suppose.
(Apropos of nothing, is that the Peter Beagle in there among the two-centers?)
