Sometimes family members disagree. Terry Schiavo has been in a persistant vegetative state for 14 years. Her husband claims she told when she was 25 that she would not to be kept alive artificially.
He wants her feeding tube removed, but the woman's parents are fighting to keep her alive. The case has been in the courts for years. A hearing this week still hasn't resolved it.
Dr. Vail says in these situation, knowing what the patient wants IN WRITING is crucial. DR. VAIL: BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT IN WRITING AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU WANT. CLARK WORTHY/ATTORNEY: I THINK IT SHOULD MAKE IT EASIER ON LOVED ONES. EVEN IF THEY DISAGREE WITH YOU IT'S YOU'RE DECISON THAT YOU'VE MADE.))
