Her family contended thai for all practical purposes, she was already dead.

J. Tucker MonlgorneQ', Dr. Kate's attorney, said the decision would be appealed. "The doctor will continue lo care for the patient as lie has been," Afontgomcry said. Franks noted In his ruling Ihal "the comatose patient cannot perform those functions that distinguish him as a human and may be In a slate worse than death, although It Is beyond human power to determine." The Judge said lhal preserving a vcgelalablc-llke life Is akin lo "the non-medical situation of placing a life preserver which will slowly lose ils quality o( buoyancy on a comatose person who cannot regain consciousness, who Is drowning In water and cannot be rescued.
