Margaret's grandfather gave her medical power of attorney and had very clear discussions with her about what he did and, importantly, did not want to happen as he died. Unfortunately, he was critically injured in an accident and placed on life support before family, including Margaret, could be notified. As her grandfather told her to do, Margaret brings copies of the legal documents related to
his wishes and discusses them with the doctor, who tells her that her grandfather has no hope of survival without the use of a ventilator and medications designed to maintain his blood pressure. Even if he is kept alive, he is unlikely to regain consciousness. Margaret says that she believes that her grandfather would not want to be kept alive under these circumstances and asks that he be removed from life support. The doctor complies with her request, and her grandfather dies within minutes. This would best be described as a. active euthanasia b. natural death c. passive euthanasia d. homicide
