Description: Frontline: Facing Death [DVD] Product Overview Format: DVD February 8, 2011 How far would you go to sustain the life of someone you love, or your own?
When the moment comes, and you're confronted with the prospect of "pulling the
plug," do you know how you'll respond? Unfounded rumors of federal "death
panels" grabbed headlines last summer, but the real decisions of how we die-
the questions that most of US prefer to put off-are being made quietly behind
closed doors, increasingly on the floors of America's intensive care units. In
this film, FRONTLINE gains access to the ICU of one of New York's biggest
hospitals to examine the complicated reality of today's modern, medical death.
Here, we find doctors and nurses struggling to guide families through the maze
of end-of-life choices they now confront: whether to pull feeding and
breathing tubes, when to perform expensive surgeries and therapies or to call
for hospice. The film also offers an unusually intimate portrait of patients
facing the prospect of dying in ways that they might never have wanted.
