Assume that doctors cannot contact Mrs. Martinez and must make this choice on their own. To help you reach an objective, ethically sound decision, draw upon concepts and arguments from Chapter 7 of your text and independent research. Support your response with clear, concise, and correct examples, weaving and citing the readings and media throughout your answer.

In your paper, address the following:

• The patient’s quality of life.
• The family’s stated preferences.
• The moral issues associated with limiting life support.
