Well, the kid has a degenerative brain condition. Child is never
expected to get better, only worse.

BTW...it's in Canada. What the **** do you care? All you're trying to
do is start a argument on here.

Get lost. Go back to trolling your nose right up Dons asshole, where
you usually are.

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.

Ours are regional health authorities. They even look at your current
and future taxation potential (job) to decide where to put you on the
waiting list, and if you are eligible.

A lot of myths about the two systems, both sides of the fence. But no
one listens to those with experience in both....

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.

Yes, not to mention inevitability of the outcome. An extra 6 weeks or
6 months of life means nothing to someone who is brain dead or
terminally comatose.

Don't you think insurance companies make the same decisions? If you
don't have pockets as deep a Croesus, the hospital is going to go with
"the payer," whether that be the government or the insurance company.

By your own quotations.... The child was in a "persistent vegetative
state" and "the couple has accepted their baby boy's inevitable
death." It seems the litigation was whether the child should suffer to
death in the home or stay in the hospital with professional care.

A "death panel" seems to be a meaningless concept when all parties
present agree that the child is terminally ill. To me, all of this
extraordinary effort at keeping a persons biological functions intact
seems terrifyingly close to Dr. Frankenstein's fascinations.

I'm not signing on to Kevorkian's principles, but quality of life, I
believe, REALLY means something.......


Professional care is to leave the kid in an incubator and wait until kid
dies. Seems a bit cold and heartless. If the kid goes home with the
parents the parents will do all that is necessary to make the kid
comfortable by giving it love and attention until the kid passes away.

Which environment would you rather die in? My daughter spend 2 months in
a Neo-natal ICU. There is no way I would want a child's last days,
hours, moments on earth spend in that environment.
