      abstract = {Through the personal experiences of three families, this  documentary explores the ethical issues involved in  sustaining the life of a severely brain damaged or comatose  patient. It explores the plight of Patricia Brophy, who  fought a legal battle for permission to remove her husband  s feeding tube after he lapsed into a vegetative state.  Then we meet the Barashes, who are emotionally and  financially exhausted from caring for their helpless  12-year-old son. He was saved by heroic measures at birth,  despite their wishes to the contrary. For another point of  view we meet the Micros who will not give up on their brain  damaged son after an accident in the Marine Corps. Our  society is reluctantly allowing a mentally competent person  to refuse life-lengthening measures. Who then should make  that decision when the individual is mentally incompetent  or an infant?.},
