I'm sorry, but reacting on emotion rather than logic is the hallmark of liberalism.
Liberals are the ones who say "Wouldn't it be worth all the gazillions or the loss of some freedoms, if just one little life could be saved?"
It's for the childrun.
Conservatives recognize that in the real world there is only so much 'other peoples money' to be spent on the seriously ill. Spending the money and manpower to keep this child semi-alive for a dozen years means no money left for thousands of other children that could be helped.
Texas Children's Hospital is one of the premier children's hospitals in the world. It is university and church afilliated. It did not make this decision casually.

Well said. I made a similar point in an earlier post. We simply cannot afford to provide the kind of end-of-life care that people are insisting on. The dirty little secret of the health care debate is that more than 70% of our health care dollars go to end-of-life care. Spending untold amounts of other people's money simply to have a family member around for another month is not moral. We have gotten a lot smarter with our technology and a lot dumber with our approach to life and death.
