没有人愿意承担允许施行手术的责任，也没有人愿意允许完全停止给病人进食。。。

After three weeks he was still completely unconscious, and the tube caused him to have a constant, painful sore throat. I talked to his four grown children and told them I thought we should insert a tube directly into his stomach through a small hole so he could be fed without so much pain. I also told them, "I can remove the tube and just let him swallow whatever he can. Chances are he won't live long, but he won't be in pain." No one wanted to take the responsibility for permitting an operation, yet no one would give permission to stop feeding the patient entirely. As a result, the poor man continued on for nearly three more months with a painful throat and frequent bleeding caused by sores in the mouth.
三周后，他依旧昏迷不醒，而导管使他的喉咙经常疼痛。我与他的四个成年孩子商量，告诉他们我认为该把一根导管通过一个小洞直接插进他的胃里，这样喂食他就不会那么痛苦。我还告诉他们说：“我可以把导管拿掉，就让他吃些他能吃得下的东西。有可能他活不长久，但他不会太痛苦。”没有人愿意承担允许施行手术的责任，也没有人愿意允许完全停止给病人进食。 结果，可怜的老人又多活了近三个月，喉咙依然疼痛不已，嘴里也因疼痛而经常出血。
