Hiram Lawrence Case - Consensus Reached

After initially opposing a hospital recommendation and going to both the media and a private attorney, the family of Hiram Lawrence has now agreed with the decision to take off life support after doctors told them the boy had no brain activity.  "The family, to their credit, understands and are now trying to get some peace of mind."  Apart from the media exposure here, this is how most end-of-life conflicts are resolved.  With a little more time and more communication, consensus is usually reached.  ( AP )
