[Answered]: At age 85, Ron suffers a significant stroke

At age 85, Ron suffers a significant stroke. After two days of being in a coma, Dr. Jerry meets with Ron’s five adult children (Ron’s wife had pre-deceased him) to decide whether Ron should be kept alive by artificial means or allowed to die naturally, while under palliative care. Ron did not have a living will or healthcare power of attorney. Dr. Jerry tells the group that, based upon all medical testing done on Ron, it appears that he will likely be in a persistent vegetative state from which he will never recover. Unfortunately, Ron’s children cannot agree on whether or not he should be kept alive on life support, or be given comfort care and allowed to die. Assuming that this all takes place in Pennsylvania, and that Ron did not have a living will or Healthcare Power of Attorney, what is Dr. Jerry supposed to do?
