This was a very interesting piece, and I was glad to hear Dr. Fink talk about it. What was especially compelling was her description of the option the staff at the hospital discussed before Mr. Everett died. What wasn't asked about by Mr. Garfield--or noted in this interview by Dr. Fink--was what other options the staff had available. That seems a distinct and important omission.
