Now return to the mother, and ask yourself whether it might be just a wee bit selfish for her to insist that this child remain suffering due to the artificial intervention of the hospital.
If you're still not convinced, ask yourself what you would do if that baby were perfectly healthy, but the mother was causing him an equivalent amount of pain through physical abuse.
Do you know that? Or are you going by the article?
Because I've seen a lot of misreporting of the information in Terri's case.
*If* you know that....ok. But it is VERY hard to separate the emotion from the logic. The mother only knows, I want my baby. And she is post pardum.
You can't expect her to think logically. She is hormonal and instinctive right now.
