Austin, TX (LifeNews.com) -- Sensing that opposition to the state's futile care law is growing, medical groups in Texas are hoping for a compromise on a bill that would revise it. The law, which allows medical facilities to give families just 10 days to find care for a loved one, has come under intense criticism for hurting patients.
Under the statute, medical facilities can determine that a patient is too far gone to receive further care and they can tell families that they will stop lifesaving medical treatment in 10 days.

No matter how this is resolved, you will still have the law dictating medicine. I can promise this much: the scheme will have a hard heart.
