Another Look At Life Support

During class Wednesday, we discussed the controversy of life support and when/if someone should be taken off it. Though there are many different opinions on this subject, this topic gets even more controversial as more varieties of comas are occurring. Recently, a story about a senior in Kansas was released. In 2008, she wasn't feeling well and she ended up having a seizure. She went into a coma for 2.5 months, when bizarrely, she was able to shoot baskets without being aware of what she was doing. As new occurrences like this begin to pop up, it will be harder for people to decide when to take a loved one off of life support or not.
