That was very generous and brave of you, Wrightsracing. I cannot imagine being in that situation and having to make that decision.

:ne other note, to be taken off of life support, you don't or can't just pull the plug,,, most require that you have a second person check {different doctor}to make sure that , yes they are indeed brain dead. ::
From my understanding there was more than one doctor on the case delaring brain death. The family originally wanted an opinion from outside the hospital but eventual, whie not giving consent, did not argue the point.
::I do not think they would allow a autospie to be done, given there mind set.just my thinking here, as to calling the doctors "murders".That is if they are told what is done during it.::
From what their lawyer stated today, they have asked for an autopsy to try to answer the question of what the actual cause of death was.

The second transplant was a feeble and self serving effort to cover their already exposed behind. The odds that this poor girl would survive that surgery with a brain intact were next to zero. You don't need a medical ethicist to tell you that.
