Death
Continued from page 1
each test and its results, he says.
Hall says, “At the present time our
medical knowledge is so great that we
have machines that will literally keep
a person’s heart beating . .. and (keep
them) breathing even though their
brain may be dead.
“So you’re doing many mechanic
al, chemical, artificial treatments to
this patient to keep everything stabil
ized.
“At times you don’t know what you
should do — when you should stop
doing something. The doctor’s re
sponsibility is to relieve suffering, to
try to improve health, but we also
realize that the patient is going to die.
“It then becomes a medical ethics
problem as to when you can legally
and when you can morally turn the
machine off.”
Hall says that families and doctors
must work together and communi
cate when dealing with a terminally ill
patient.
“You’ve got to give the family a
chance to communicate — to tell ab
out their fears, their worries, their
thoughts before you’d ever make one
of these decisions,” Hall says. “You
want to make the death as easy as
possible for the patient and for the
family. And you try to alleviate suf
fering, pain and, in some cases, exces
sive expense if it’s not going to help
the patient.
“But most families . . . feel guilty if
they don’t do everything they think is
possible to save the patient’s life.”
But, Hall says, the family’s wishes
are secondary — it’s the patient’s
wishes that the physician must honor.
However, if the patient is mentally
incompetent, then the family’s wishes
are considered, he says.
“Unless you feel that their wishes
are for some financial reasons that
are not in the best interests of the
patient,” Hall says. “Then you can go
to the county judge and ask him to
appoint a guardian for the patient.”
Hall said that conflicts arise more
often in the cases of young people,
newborn babies and accident victims.
He points out the case of Baby
Doe. The case involved a newborn
child afflicted with severe deformi
ties, and the attending physicians
knew the baby wouldn’t survive, he
says. The question in this case was
whether the baby should be fed or be
allowed to die.
But not feeding a newborn child is
viewed as child abuse, he says. Be
cause of this case Congress estab
lished a hotline to report the abuse of
newborn children, Hall says.
“There’s still a lot of controversy as
to how aggressive you should get with
a newborn baby that’s not going to
make it,” he says. “Everybody agrees
that the baby is to be fed and kept
from suffering, but you’re not obli
gated to go through any difficult
surgeries . . . that will prolong the
baby’s suffering.”
Hall also refers to an amendment
in the act that allows a parent or guar
dian to take a child off of a machine.
It’s a difficult decision for someone
else to make, he says.
The parent or guardian can’t,
however, take a child off of a machine
unless it’s in the child’s best interest
and only when a machine is artificial
ly prolonging the child’s life, Hall
says.
He says that making decisions in
the case of a terminally ill patient is
difficult. Doctors doubt themselves
and their decisions so they always get
second and third opinions, he says.
“You don’t get hardened,” Hall
says. “I think you get a philosophical
attitude that every one of us is going
to die — that a part of life is death just
like a part of life is birth.”
John Suplita, a senior biology major from Plano, takes someiimc

Agreement

day the group wants the Soviet Union
to join “so we can learn from each
other.”
William Lee, who helped organize
the Institute of Nuclear Power Oper
ations, told reporters, “We would like
to invite the Soviets to become mem
bers of INPO, if they would like to,
subject to our government’s
approval.”
The Nuclear Regulatory Commis
sion has bilateral nuclear safety
arrangements with 21 countries and
also participates in a reporting system
run by the 23-member Nuclear Ener
gy Agency, a Paris-based division of
the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development.
However, the Soviet Union and
Soviet-bloc countries do not belong.
The NRC staff was working on a
draft agreement on nuclear safety
cooperation with the Soviet Union
when the Soviets invaded Afghanis
tan in 1979, said James R. Shea,
director of international programs at
the NRC.
He said all work came to a halt as
