Abstract
"When a loved one's fate lies in another's hands, the decisions can be overwhelming. This program, hosted by NewsHour's Ray Suarez, follows two families as they grapple with life-and- death decisions inside an ICU. A doctor, an ethicist, and others help these families through the process of making decisions on behalf o those who are no longer able to communicate their wishes. La Vera Crawley, of Stanford University's bioethics department, helps the families better understand the difficult decisions they are expected to make." [description from the DVD box]
