Yeah, just what we need.

Read up on if from other sources. What a situation.... I just hope they
do what is best for the kid and to hell with the rest of them. But
admit, I am not sure what that is. Glad I don't have to decide this
one, pirates is easy, not so in this case.

I saw the father interviewed today. He says all he wants is for the baby
to have a tracheotomy, and let them take him home. He says there is
therapy if only they can clear the mucus from his throat and lungs.

Therapy maybe, but I am unclear on the facts not published. Is the baby
sentient? Aware? Brain dead? Exact no emotions or BS, what is the exact
state of the child's mind.

Hey, with today's technology you could pick up a roast going to the
supermarket and put tubes and chemicals to keep it alive, but should you?

Some real ethical issues in this, slippery slopes too.

So it really boils down to how much benefit is it for the child to get
it and then go home?
