Removal from Life Support
Question
I am a Noahide seeking an answer to the question, when if ever do you take someone off a ventilator? My 43-year-old son suffered a bad stroke this past weekend. The ICU doctors say he will never be able to come off the ventilator. He is not brain dead but has bleeding of the brain causing pressure within his skull. His mother (my ex-wife) wants the ventilator removed which will result in his death. She has the say so in the ICU concerning my son's treatments. Please advise what Hashem would want done in this situation?
