There is no dissent that I have read. The mother received no prenatal care and the child had a rare and always fatal form of dwarfish. She selfishly prolonged his life while refusing to acknowledge that he would never live to see his first birthday regardless of any and all heroic measures. He was slowly suffocating on a ventilator.
Well, I don't believe there is any moral requirement for heroic measures that only prolong the process of imminent death.
I signed my own mother's DNR (to spare my father the duty) when she lay dying from stage four metastatic colon cancer (which overran her liver in a matter of weeks!). Signing that form was a moment I will never forget.
Even then, she was given hydration, nutrition and of course pain management.
