Q: My grandfather is currently laying in hospital. He needs to use the breathing machine just to keep him alive. The doctor told us that we need to make the choice to keep the breathing machine on him or remove it but he is dead without the breathing machine. He can't move or talk or anything anymore.
Will it be better to remove the breathing machine or should it be kept on him, possibly leading to more suffering?
