Hi all....I was wondering if somebody could help me. My father in law has been in the hospital, icu, on a ventilator this past week. He has severe emphysema. The doctors are going to attempt to take him off the ventilator in the next few days and see if he can breath on his own. 2 out of my husband's 4 sisters do not want them to put the ventilator back in if he can't breath without it. Is this legal to let him just slip away like that ? Seems awfully cruel to leave him gasping for air, as he is fully conscious, communicating and has no living will.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer!
