Soon, in the doctor's office...

"Mrs. Carter, I understand how you feel, but as a doctor, I must explain the situation to you. Mr. Carter suffered severe head trauma and has fallen into a deep coma. He has lost his pupillary light reflex, corneal reflex, swallowing reflex, cough reflex, and tendon reflex.

"He has no spontaneous breathing, and can only be sustained by medication and medical equipment. Although his heart is still beating, his brain is unresponsive. If the medical equipment is turned off, his heart will stop beating immediately."

As Sebastian's wife, Rosalie had the right to make medical decisions on his behalf in emergencies when he couldn't decide for himself. If she signed the consent form, the organ transplant surgery could be performed immediately.

His chances of waking up are extremely slim. Even with machines and medication, we can't sustain his heartbeat indefinitely. If we delay further, his organs will begin to fail."

Rosalie wiped away her tears, took a deep breath to calm herself, and asked, "What do you suggest we do now?"

The doctor sighed.

Carter, I truly understand how you feel. I don't mean to blackmail you morally, but the chances of Mr. Carter waking up are very slim. In my thirty years as a doctor, I've never seen a patient with injuries like his wake up. There's no meaning to his life now; it's sustained by medication and machines. Even the patient himself might not want to live like this. But if you agree, he can save three people and become

In your thirty years of practice, did the families of patients like him hold on until the end, or did they follow the doctors' advice and choose to turn off the machines and give up?"
