I would like to call your attention to a superb post on "Zocalo Public Square" by Dr. Ken Murray, "How Doctors Die." It addresses what doctors want for themselves when they are dying, which is generally much LESS intervention.
I would suggest that if patients knew that doctors felt this way, rather than that we were trying to "deny" something to them or their relatives, it might be much more effective.
