Considering the critically ill patients on life support in the documentary, decisions include: Should everything technologically possible be done? Should another surgery or procedure be performed? How much additional pain and suffering would this cause the patient? Is the patient strong enough to undergo another surgery or procedure? If the patient is kept on life support for weeks, months, or even years, is there a chance for eventual significant improvement? Or is letting go and allowing natural death to occur the compassionate and loving thing to do? Is it time to provide hospice and palliative care? Can the patient spend his or her remaining days at home surrounded by family and friends (and away from the equipment and technology in the intensive care unit)?
