There was an interesting show on PBS Frontline about end of life health care. You can watch the video online, seems like most of the patients and doctors from this story were on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit.

Now remember, this show is about very serious end of life health care issues, not a story about Stem Cell Transplants. It just happens all the people involved have had Stem Cell Transplants as treatment to aggressive disease.
