"This is not about a condition so rare or horrible that treatment would be inconceivable. Ironically, the website for Texas Children’s Hospital, where Sun is a patient, includes this statement about dysplasia: “This genetics clinic provides diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care for patients from birth to adulthood with abnormalities of skeletal growth and strength. A staff of geneticists with consulting orthopedists, endocrinologists, neurologists and ophthalmologists evaluate patients during their visits for routine, chronic or acute care."

Can you explain that paragraph to me, please?

That's an example of an article trying to mislead you. That statement is NOT about the specific condition the baby is suffering, but about the capabilities the hospital has over a broad range of conditions.

Furthermore, it demonstrates that this clinic has the expertise necessary to make an informed conclusion about the terminal nature of this child's disorder.

Some have been able to come off the vent make it to early childhood. I don't believe that this is the case for the baby, in particular. If it were the possibility that this baby would be able to come off the vent, that the hospital would do more? Or do you just believe that most medical instiutions want to murder young children?

Every patient reacts to illness differently, what works for one patient, will not work for another. The paragraph you posted is "in general", it simply does not refer to all patients. I'm sorry that I'm not giving you the answer that you are looking for, or perhaps you think that I don't care about this baby, inparticular, and life, in general.
