>Sgt; PATTI CAMPBELL: Andrew was — he loved life. The only conversation I had with Andrew about end of life decision was about organ donation. He lost his driver's license, couldn't find it anywhere. So he had to get a new one, and when he came home he showed me the little red heart on the license that designated he was an organ donor and I said, well, so am I, and that's great. I regret that that didn't encourage us to talk about end of life things. We probably should have taken it further. When Andrew was brought to the hospital, he was really in a comatose state basically then. He was having difficulty breathing, it was very labored and not regular at all, so we hoped and prayed that he would be okay, but it didn't turn out that way. The CAT scan showed that he was brain-dead, basically. It took us a couple of days to decide really to let him go. We didn't know if that's what he wanted. Did he want to stay alive on life support? I don't know. >> KHAN NGO: It took me by surprise when I got the phone call that she was in the hospital. The doctor pretty much told me, she's at the end of her life. She's probably got about 72 hours left. Her organs are going to fail, so what should we do? So I started asking all what her wishes were. Her wish was to go home and die at home, where she's comfortable. And during that time is when my brother got involved, and he at the time was living in New Jersey. All this time I relay what mother wanted. And when he got there, he kind of had his own idea of what he wanted. And he is my older brother, and I almost wished that he would have taken care of the whole thing and I could have taken a back seat because I almost didn't want to make the decision. But I also respected my mother a lot, and I wanted her to have her wishes. Right away we got into a heated match of just verbal back and forth, and I said, if it was up to me, I would like her to stay here in the hospital, but it's not up to me. She wants to go home, so we're going to make that. And he said no, leave her here. And within about 6 hours, her heart just stopped. >> JESSICA SERB: An advance directive is a plan that allows somebody a principle person, to sign a document authorizing another person, who we call an agent, to make medical decisions for them if they're not able to do so themselves. Most people will need to rely on an advanced directive at some point during their lives, so it's very important for everybody, no matter how old or how young you are, to have that document in place. You want to make sure that you have authorized somebody that you trust, that you are comfortable with, to make medical decisions for you when you're not able to. Sgt;> GREG BURNS: The last thing people want to kind of think about is their death. You know, by choosing not to enter the process you're still making a choice and that choice is to allow somebody else to make kind of decisions that maybe you don't want other people making. Sgt;> JESSICA: A lot of people will...
