It's interesting if you look worldwide, like in other countries outside the U.S. I think people have a different view of death and some of them do have socialized medicine so you're forced to, you know, view that differently. It isn't like endless resources, so people are forced to come to grips. And also the culture and attitude is different. Here, people think, "Well, as long as you're alive," and many of these family members do sadly make these choices; they're not even around and involved, they just think "Well, we can save them." So, but again, I think there's some societal, cultural work to be done there because people need to come more to grips with what it's truly about – quality of life, not just being alive.
