Imho, the medical professional has an unacceptable number of members who do not value life.
That is hard for many to accept I know. We got an "up close & personal" confirmation of the truth of that assertion in the ER, when a snot nosed intern was trying to push a DNR for our elderly father (i/l)
I quote, "Well. He doesn't have much of a life."
Needless to say, he did not get his precious DNR. However, the head of that hospital did get a full report and a proper dressing down. I forget the detail of what we said to the youngster playing God, at the time.
But, how many families just go with "doctor knows best."?
