One question I have about this case Dean.
What were the "unsurvivable injuries" seen on CT?

It is easy to comment about the "humane thing to do" or our  
"obligations", but I believe that should be tempered by the actual  
clinical circumstances. If the CT for instance showed a brain  
extrusion with massive loss of brain matter, what would be the  
"obligation"?

Maybe if we knew what the CT actually showed, it would be more  
applicable to what we would do/expect.
