Popis: A 36-year-old woman had severe anoxic brain damage due to a pulmonary embolus during a long airplane flight. She was admitted to the neurology intensive care unit but remained in a coma despite maximal medical therapy. On the ninth day, the family decided to institute comfort measures only. Later, they requested that maximal therapy be resumed, to permit consideration of oocyte retrieval for the purpose of posthumous conception of future offspring. A management decision was made.
