Withdrawal Of Life Support Systems Is More Common Than Public May Think - It Happens Millions Of Times Each Year
Harris Interactive
ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The Terri Schiavo case focused public attention on the legal and medical issues related to the use of feeding tubes and life support systems for unconscious patients who may be terminally ill or are in a vegetative state. Because the Schiavo case and a few other cases have received so much attention in the media, one might be forgiven for believing that such cases are rare or unusual. In fact, millions of deaths are caused by the withdrawal of life support systems, which a new Harris Poll shows happens very often.
