Life-sustaining therapy is a medical treatment designed to prolong the life of an individual who is critically ill. These therapies can include mechanical ventilation, dialysis, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, in some cases, these treatments may not be effective or may only provide a short extension of life. This raises the question of whether life-sustaining therapy is needed when it is futile. In this essay, we will explore this controversial topic and discuss the arguments for and against life-sustaining therapy in futile situations.
