Utah Mine collapse, how long should they look for survivors?

It seems the co-owner of the mine where the collapse happened will bore a sixth hole to search for the trapped miners and if that fails to find them then he will stop the search. In my opinion they should search until they find them dead or alive, they owe it to the family, friends and co workers. I can't imagine the pain these people are going through not knowing and if these poor guys are alive and just waiting can you imagine the thoughts in their heads. I think it is horrible that these companies are making all kinds of money and yet they can't find it in their hearts to keep looking until they are found. Am I wrong? Is there a time when the search should be stopped?

I think that by now they know there is almost no chance the miners are alive and it would just be risking more peoples lives to keep looking for them. I think if they thought they could safely find the miners or even their bodies they would continue looking for them.

Even a little chance they are alive is still a chance and if it were my hubby I would want that chance...
