"Please, let me die".
Ethics today must focus on 'end of life' concerns, patient autonomy, resource distribution and problems of communication. With ever increasing technology and expanding costs of health services there must eventually be a process of rationing. There must come a time to refuse 'futile' treatment. Unfortunately the law insists on, and doctors are guilty of providing futile treatment.
