Law &. Ethics for Medical Careers 5th Edition by Karen Judson,Carlene Harrison

تمرين 22

At four, Bobby had had two bone marrow transplants to treat a genetic metabolic disorder called Hurler syndrome. Back in the hospital, his kidneys were failing, and his body was painfully swollen from an accumulation of fluids. Steroids had turned the boy's skin bright pink, and multisystem organ failure required the use of machines to keep him somewhat stable. Clearly, aggressive medical care was keeping Bobby alive. Bobby's mother proudly remarked often that he was "a fighter."
In your opinion, does Bobby have the right to be taken off the machines that are keeping him alive? Explain your answer.
