    AbstractThis paper examines the legal rights of a patient and his family in a situation where the patient's life is maintained by a life support system. It examines the duty and liability of a doctor who is of the view that the life-support should be terminated and, whether, in such situations the consent of the patient or his family or the Court is required.
