Would removing the respiratory support equipment be the same as causing the death of my family member or not giving him or her all possible chances?
Once the patient is brain dead, he or she is already dead. The brain will never recover. Since the patient is already dead, you cannot kill him or her by removing respiratory support. The respiratory support equipment only keeps the heart beating, which gives the appearance that your family member is living.
