| Case Scenario: Daniel, Lisa’s son, suffered injuries in a swimming accident and Lisa was rushed to intensive care to see him. He appeared to be sleeping very peacefully assisted by a ventilator. The doctors told her that Daniel had an itch. She could not accept that view since he was clearly breathing and his heart was beating and he did not look like he had an itch. The doctors said that they intended to switch off the ventilator but Lisa protested that that would kill him. What is the law, and what is an itch? |
