poor child, let him go i say, he should be free to die in peace, catastrophic brain injury is not Gods work.

[Old_Geezer]

That was my first thought. Interference with God's apparent will is common enough (that's all medicine does isn't it ?) but if they object then so be it.

[kvalidir]

I don't think God should be brought into it one way or the other, it makes no sense, and I don't know enough about the child, his family, the hospital or his condition to comment on who or what I think is right regarding his treatment.

I feel so sorry for them all.

Yes, she is totally contradicting herself, but what an awful position to be in.

[Mamyalynne]

What an awful situation, from the outside it appears the Doctors are right, but how would I react?

I can't begin to imagine, thank goodness.

[Peter Pedant]

sorry what is the question ?

the child will live anyway - fine turn the vent off
er
the child is vent dependent and wont get better - fine turn the vent off

am I missing something obvious that I cant understand ?

If she is so convinced that God should decide she should reject all human intervention and trust that God will decide.

Poor baby.

Having availed herself of science and scientists it's incumbent upon the mother to listen to reason and educated advice and do what has to be done.

The rest can wait till Sunday.
