The parents of Gregory Jacobs, 18, an Ohio man who died from injuries he sustained on March 7, 2007 while snowboarding at Peek ‘n Peak Resort, are suing Hamot Medical Center claiming that doctors at the hospital killed their son so they could sell his organs to the Center for Organ Recovery and Education, according to a story on WTOL.com.
The suit, claims medical personnel at the ski resort and at the hospital failed to diagnose his closed head injury quickly, and that the delayed treatment caused him further harm. . . .Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs claim that over several days at Hamot Medical Center, doctors encouraged them to sign a do-not-resuscitate order, even though they didn’t want to and they believed their son was improveing.
Wonder if they think the $5 million they are asking for will make them feel better about his death?

I remember when this happened my buddy had to go test the jump it happened on to make sure it was safe. I want to know how you put a price on someones death? Is it because of the recession suddenly 5 million is a good number but if we weren’t in a recession would it only be 2.5?
