kevin donovan, the director of the center for clinical bioethics for georgetown university. welcome. clearly a lot of controversy on this topic because some might question when you're sick and so stressed and you've just had this very traumatic injury, how objective can you really be in making a decision that you can never reverse? >> that's an extent question. there are two things that probably apply here. the first is the patient's autonomy. people have a right to decide about their own medical care. that's enshrined both in the law and bioethics, but at the same time informed consent is another concept equally important and for informed consent to occur you have to understand the complete facts of the case and the possible prognosis and how do you decide that in a matter of a few minutes when they wake you up from the deep 3 on the ventilator and ask you if you want -- deep sleep on the ventilator and ask you if you want to live that way? >> should the law be changed? >> it's not a matter of law as much as prudence. did this man have enough time to understand what was bei

donovan have wrote about his alcohol problem. he was asked to leave a military ball after showing up impaired earlier this year and a few days after that, i got a call from an anonymous tipster who claimed to have a video of the mayor apparently smoking crack cocaine. it took a month back and forth getting to know them and they eventually let us watch it in early may. two weeks after that, your very own gouker ran the story in the "toronto star" and been reporting it all summer long since then. >> you've seep the video. what does it actually show? >> it's about a minute and a half long. it shows a man, it's clearly rob ford, shot in high-definition. it's in sunshine. he's holding what looks like a crack pipe and he's jerking around on his chair. he's slurring, he's rambling, he calls the leader of the liberal, federal liberal party a homophobic slur and he smokes out of what looks like a crack pipe. >> okay. wait a minute. so he's smoking crack, and making slurs about another politician, both homophobic slurs and a racial crack?
