Life Support Issues Hassan Rasouli, pictured here with his wife (left) and daughter (right) in Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto, developed an infection after surgery in 2010 and slipped into a coma. His doctors wanted to take him off life support, but his family refused. The case went to the Supreme Court of Canada, which ruled that doctors cannot unilaterally choose to end life support services for Rasouli.
