Ziv Magen refused to consent to withdrawing life-sustaining treatment from his 39-year-old wife Maiko. He said he had been "ready to let her go" but not until he was sure everything possible had been done to save her. (Courier Mail)
He was told that his wife had only a 5 per cent chance of survival at best. "But even if she has only a 1 per cent chance of survival, does it give them the right to take that chance away from her?" he said. Gold Coast Health Service District executive director Dr Brian Bell said the decision to stop treatment was made by doctors "on clinical grounds and no other."
