That is really frightening, especially in light of our new "obamacare". Will the government eventually decide who should and shouldn't receive medical treatment under their care plan, and who should and shouldn't live?
of course. It is the natural extension of such a plan. But this is scary for the fact that the parents wishes are being ignored. If a child is going to die, isn't it the very lest we can do, to let the parents choose where that should happen? It is the very basic premise of hospice care and makes sense so long as other priorities (e.g. control, money)don't usurp it.
