if such technology could save your loved one.

Of course, there are people out there who will let loved ones die for religious/philosophical dogma's sake. The Jehovah's Witnesses, with their "dishonor the blood" doctrine, come to mind. Numerous children have died because their parents wouldn't allow a doctor to "dishonor the blood" and give the child a transfusion.
