Why is prolonging life for terminally ill patients such a difficult issue for physicians?
There has to be a balance between respect for life at all costs, and the reality of maintaining and using scarce resources for those who are healthy and/or those whose illnesses can be cured. It is a dilemma, and an ethical issue that we have not really solved at state or federal levels. Is it reasonable for us to maintain someone who is in a persistent and intractable vegetative state even if the vegetative state may last for many years? If someone is conscious but terminally ill and either in unbearable pain or in a medically induced coma, should a patient's desire to end the pain be recognized as a legitimate treatment given the physician's oath to 'do no harm'? Could it be argued that maintaining life while there is no quality of life whatsoever is really a form of doing harm?

Well, Kant poses his categorical imperative to individuals... so the answer could vary. What one person sees as universally benefitting mankind someone else would see as detrimental. For instance... free will. A person is considering whether to restrict a child's freedom in order to "protect" him or her. We throw that idea into the categorical imperative, considering whether it is UNIVERSALLY better to restrict freedom in favor of "protection." Some would say yes, if it allowed more happiness or freedom from terrorism or pain. Others would say no... freedom is more important than the risk of pain, and it is the only thing that allows us to continue learning, and growing into a potential well beyond anything we could achieve with restricted freedom. So, in presenting his categorical imperative to people rather than relying on a "universal truth," he can be seen to be subjective.
