Ian is a 29-year-old male who sustained a major head injury in a car accident 7 years ago. He is in a long-term care facility. Ian cannot communicate in any way, requires total care, and is incontinent of urine and stool. He is likely in a persistent vegetative state, and his prognosis is thought by the team to be hopeless, He has a gastronomy tube and receives regular feedings.Ian’s parents believe that their son would not wish to be maintained in this way and have requested that the feeding tube be removed. They have made this request several times in past years. However, the hospital’s policy does not allow discontinuation of tubes. As tubes are replaced at regular intervals, Ian’s family is now asking that their son’s tube not be replaced in the event that it accidentally falls out.
