I am for the life support system only when the doctor thinks that the patient will get better. If the doctor thinks that the patient will not get better and the only reason that the patient is on life support is because the family dosen't want to let that person go then no I don't believe in it. I guess it just depends on the situation.

As an Islamic rule, if the doctors rule that the person is in a vegetative state or brain dead, the nearest relative can allow the plug to be pulled.\n\nPersonally, I think I'm religious and I wouldn't want anyone to sacrifice their time, house and savings to keep me alive for a few more days, weeks or months.  But then again, that's my personal wish.\n\nMay Allah never put anyone in this situation and help those who are facing it now.  Ameen.

many an inocent persons death ?

YES!  By law the immediate family has the right to ask for an autopsy.  The hospital and coroner are probably refusing because they believe the patient died of natural causes.  If you have any doubt, before anything pertaining to a funeral begins, GET AN AUTOPSY!

You MUST have a living will for this information to be known!  Personally if I'm breathing on my own, and show signs of brain activity then chances are I will awaken. If I show none of the previous signs then by all means pull the plug & let my children, and the rest of my family remember me as I was.  As a healthcare professional I applaud you for having a living will, that's a hard desicion to make that is sometimes asked of our loved ones, one that I have seen people make with their hearts, instead of their heads.  Good for you! :-)

I have seen people brought back to life that previously did not have a pulse or breathing. So I don't think the previous answers are accurate. \n\n To answer your quesiton sometimes I have seen the exact opposite I think they go too far trying to save people.  I have seen people in comas. I have also taken care of people who had strokes(that were revived) that would have preferred to die.

His death will be investigated,coronor will say why he died. Hung with the wrong crowd. but did not deserve to die by murder or by drug induction. natural death. Thats life and the way it should be.

Be truthful, but use some tact.  Children can sense when they aren't being told the truth and will feel betrayed when they find out.  Avoid euphemisms or fairy tales.\n\nA child's understanding of grief depends on their age, so how you address it could vary.  \n\nThe experts say to explain what dead means.  Say the person's body "stopped working" (or something to that effect).  Avoid saying the person "went away" or "went to sleep".  Its misleading and you may soon have an insomniac child.  \n\nAllow them to ask questions and explain that everything they are feeling and thinking is normal.  \n\nLook for books by Linda Goldman.  I attended one of her seminars and it was excellent!\nhttp://www.childrensgrief.net/

Look at the bright side.\n\nAt least they are in heaven.\n\nOk. \n\nGod allowed such killing because its a consequence of their own acts. In accordance to free will.\n\nAsking the "why" dosent change anything.\n\nEven today, children die in many ways regardless of wether we know "why" or NOT.\n\nNO other religion too can explain why children die of murder, disastors, etc for certain. Thus, lets judge the "why" after we see the "whole picture" in the afterlife.\n\nI assure you, there, you wont be feeling "why" any more.\n\nWe can ask God one day.

Should killing your two-year old daughter be illegal? \n\nWe tell our young mother's it's OK to kill their children while they are hidden in her womb, but not OK once she has held them in her arms. What a sad, confused world we live in.

To take my daughter off life support. I found her in bed not breathing...and took her to the ER. They tried for 45 minutes to resucitate(sp) her. And they did. BUt by then her brain had gone without oxygen for so long, she was brain dead. We kept her on machines for 5 days till it became apparent there was nothing that could be done. SO we took her off of life support. SHe died in my arms. It was a hard decision, but I know it was the right one to make.

This is up for huge debate. Still much to be decided on this by the courts.\n\nAs for my thoughts on the matter. I believe any person should have the right to die if they are aware of their irreversable situation of health or whatever. I also believe that a "living will" that explains a person's wishes not to be left in a vegetative state should be upheld as well.

Abortion is murder. \nIf you would only observe a few you would be against it after you watched a few little arm and legs writhe and wiggle in pain as they are butchered. They can't scream you know, all they can do is to twitch and shake as they are ripped apart. If they could cry you could hear it.

Yes, he is. I thought it was kind of him to disclose this information as I'm sure it gave hope to other people with this challenge. A lot of kids have gone without understanding what was going on and made to feel stupid.  With proper diagnosis most people can be helped with this challenge in life.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.
