Description

In the case of a patient with an unremitting, incurable mortal illness, the law of this Commonwealth does not prohibit a course of medical treatment which excludes attempts at resuscitation in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest and the lawfulness of a physician's order to that effect does not depend on prior judicial approval. [468-474] This case, which comes to us on a report (without decision but with extensive findings of fact) from a Judge of a Probate Court, turns on the question whether a physician attending an incompetent, terminally ill patient may lawfully direct that resuscitation measures be withheld in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest where such a direction has not been approved in advance by a Probate Court.
