California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Barber v. Superior Court, 147 Cal.App.3d 1006, 195 Cal.Rptr. 484 (Cal. App. 1983):
In Self v. General Motors Corp. (1974) 42 Cal.App.3d 1, at page 7, 116 Cal.Rptr. 575, Justice Fleming observed that "prosecution of a lawsuit is a poor way to design a motor vehicle." By analogy it appears to us that a murder prosecution is a poor way to design an ethical and moral code for doctors who are faced with decisions concerning the use of costly and extraordinary "life support" equipment.
