Phillip L. Kim published a new note in the SMU Science and Technology Law Review (Volume 13, Number 2, Spring 2010: 231): “When is Enough Simply Enough? Shining Light on Medical Futility Through Bernstein v. Superior Court.” The Bernstein case is worth reading (I blogged about it here in Feb. 2009). Kim reviews the case and provides a little critical commentary, but does not add much that is not already in the court's opinion itself.
On this blog, Professor Thaddeus Pope tracks judicial, legislative, policy, and academic developments concerning medical futility and the limits on individual autonomy at the end of life.

Pain is a pretty primitive response and does not require neo-cortical function.
