There is a chance.Are they wrong? It's an aweful situation. But this poor kid is only alive because of a ventilator. The poor parents are blinded wh grief .
I hate to be cold, but how many resources are being used for this baby that doesn't have a chance ?
People said the same thing about this boy a few years ago. I forget his name or what was wrong with him but he was supposed to die years ago. He is still alive.
We arent perfect. We are constantly learning new things. Its to be expected.
Even if, that shit shouldnt matter. That judge or judges shouldnt determine what happens to that kid.
DEATH PANEL
What about his doctors? Should they get a say?
Of course they get a say. Their say its to give the parents an informed spectrum of options and allow them to make the best choice for their child and family.
Every doctor takes an oath to do no harm. Withholding treatment violates that oath.
Treatments are specific actions that have a chance of helping. "Treatment" is NOT throwing anything and everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.
And this has a chance of working. So what's your point
A chance of working, no it doesn't according to specialist who work with this stuff everyday, day in and day out. They have thousands of children there with genetic conditions, I'm sure they know what they are doing.
