At some point, someone will have to "pull the plug" because the baby will not be coming off it.

Perhaps. But that is not my point. I dont think a hospital can just pull the plug the way it is described in this article. Which is why Im inclined to believe there is more to the story..

Agreed. To me, this article attempts to engender a lot of sympathy but it, in fact, shoots itself in the foot when it makes it clear that money is not the issue. That leads me to believe that the doctors are making a medical decision here, not a financial one. But of course, with more of the story, I might feel otherwise.

Knowing the outcome, and only going by my hospital experiences, the hospital is "drawing the line." Meaning there is no hope that the baby will be able to come off life support.
