Beginning

Meredith: 

When you sign a medical directive or consent to surgery, there's an important question we ask. "In the event of a possibly fatal complication, do you want us to use extraordinary measures to prolong your life? If your heart stops do you want us to begin CPR?" "Do you want to be violently shocked with 360 joules of electricity?" "Do you agree to multiple injections of adrenaline into your veins or a tube down your throat?" How far will you go to stay alive? 

Ending

Extraordinary measures can have a cost. You may be alive but life may not be the same as you remember. Your body may not move as easily. Feelings may be gone. And it can take a long time to recover. There's a reason it's a difficult decision. You just have to decide if it's all worth it.
