To Pull the Plug or Not...?

The field of medical technology has given us blessings and horrors simultaneously. The recent Terri Schiavo case illustrates how volatile medical ethics can be. Well, now there is another case that has a different ending. A man has come out of a coma after several nine months . The interesting thing is that his wife wanted to remove his feeding tubes after 10 days based on a doctor's diagnosis that he was in a "persistent vegetative state" (PVS). His family fought the wife's decision and won. He then came out of the coma a few weeks later.

We must not allow the "culture of death" to corrupt our society. Life is precious!
