Quote:
the pendulum has swung – and needed to – from the unfettered power of doctors and hospitals to do as they may to the right of patients to say no to treatment unless a court mandates such an intervention. But has it swung too far? What is abundantly clear is that just about no one is satisfied, on either side of the “battleground”, with the way things are. But where might the point of equipoise exist?
