What I'm trying to get at is that doctors need some sort of tools to help explain the situation to their patients and their patient's families. It doesn't have to be my suggestion, but some way of making the twin points that: a) prolonging life at any cost is not compassionate to the patient, and b) prolonging life at any cost is not compassionate to people who actually can be healed to go live a happy remainder of their life.
