You are on the hospital ethics committee and it has been called into an emergency session. The case before you is that of a large family who refuses to give up hope regarding their nephew. He is in a coma and his physician stated that he most likely will never wake up. He has pancreatic cancer and is expected to die within a few weeks.. yet the family still refuses to give up, stating, "we want all heroic measures used on little Jimmy". The family is destitute. Discuss any ethical issues that might arise.
