The specific example I had in mind was in the episode "Son of Coma Guy", in which a father, who is going to fall into a coma for the rest of his life, can save his son's life with a heart transplant, and decides he'd rather die to save his son's life than live in a coma while his son dies. House would like to proceed with the transplant, but Cuddy refuses.
