Janice, is this any different than organ donation, hacking the organs out of vegatative patients so that others may live?How much worse is it than keeping someone mecanically alive who has ZERO chance of becoming conscious again and is constantly invaded by needles, tubes and catheters in every orifice possible? Or filling people with experimental chemo only to watch them live in and out of hospitals and then ultimately die horribly from secondary complications from the therapy?Yet we do all these acts, because we can and we're told its ok..... If pher 02 potentially saves two people at least, isn't it worth it? Medical ethics is not a black-and- white situation.Each case is weighed with the risk versus reward for what you do..and you live with what you can handle emotionally. I can handle getting informed consent from a family to try this drug as easily as I could get consent for organ donation because I feel that it can benefit a lot more than one person in the future.

I feel terrible about any suffering that another human being may suffer. I suppose that true suffering is for the cognizant or for the surviving family. I suppose that organ donation is questionable in relation to your perception of ethics. Not to be crude, but if you accidentally run over a cat, the cat will be dead. If you back over the cat again it's just going to be a little flatter not more dead. Although these people have not experienced biological death, they are in fact dead because they can not sustain life on their own, the machine is the living entity. I am a firm believer in a higher power, but I also believe that medical science cannot improve in its own without practical ideas put to test. Therefore testing is mandatory, and I don't know about you but I'd much rather have this type of testing to save humanity as apposed to no advancement at all. I carry a donor card. How about you? t
