Abstract
The New York Times published a plot description of the movie “In the Matter of Karen Ann Quinlan.” It can be read: “After a serious accident, New Jersey woman Karen Ann Quinlan lapses into an irreversible coma. Only a complicated and expensive life-support system forestalls Karen's inevitable death; otherwise, she is brain dead and her prognosis is hopeless.” [3] Hence, in this portrayal terms like “irreversible coma”, “brain dead”, “prognosis is hopeless”, are misunderstood.
