Description
Currently, this extension is a a flag that contains a fixed SNOMED code. If it is present, the Patient is a deceased fetus. This is much more complicated than the deceased flag which contains Boolean or a dateTime.
MichaelRiley noted the excessive complexity of the extension, and the fact that it can't be set to false.
Suggest:
1) making it a simple boolean valued extension on deceased
2) restricting it to being true iff deceased is true
3) implied value of false if absent, but it can be set to false.
