Abstract
Confusion reigns in the care of two medically futile cases as one state's supreme court requires hospitals to ask the local state attorney's office to arbitrate conflicts between "acceptable medical treatment and the patient's wishes," and another court applies the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) to require a hospital to stabilize an anencephalic child's respiratory distress.
