The legal logistics were resolved Friday, when the family and hospital officials met in court and reached an agreement that will allow Jahi to remain on the ventilator while she is transferred to another facility. Jahi's family's determined crusade reflects our collective cultural discomfort with unpalatable end-of-life choices - and our tendency to arm for battle, rather than aim for understanding. "The family is going to talk, going to pray, going to cry.... We have to handle that family respectfully and with as much dignity as we can." He would have convened a team of physicians, social workers, grief counselors and clergy to walk Jahi's family through the process: to explain why a twitch when you touch your daughter isn't a sign of life, to help the family focus on saying goodbye instead of holding on.
