So the judge was right to think about all of the rest of the Texas statute that you've cited, but ignore this section?:

§ 166.050. MERCY KILLING NOT CONDONED. This subchapter
does not condone, authorize, or approve mercy killing or permit an affirmative or deliberate act or omission to end life except to permit the natural process of dying as provided by this subchapter.

Therefore, there is a distinction between active dying and "futile" treatment anticipating a future death. That's what the law in Texas says. Anyway, enough. I don't mean to argue. I respect your position on this and I'll leave it alone.

Im thinking there is more to this story.

You would be right.

The boy is named "Sun" because his mother thinks the sun is the father of the baby. Yeah. Completely nuts.

And the way this article describes the condition, the boy would do fine if he was just kept alive. That's a lie.

Is this the Freepers or the DU? Since when did conservatives pick up the talking points of the left---that is, the state decides who is inconvenient to keep alive?

And please. I am not talking about convicted felons, many of whom seem to have more "rights" than this baby.

"The truth is, the sun that shines in the sky has come down in a flesh and blood body just like yours and mine," said Wanda. "Sun is the creator of Sun's body. Sun came down here looking the way he did for a reason, so man cannot get the glory."

Just saw this woman on Fox tonight. I pray for the child and the mother, but I almost fell over when I heard her insistence that the sun and the earth were the child's parents.

I saw her too. She also said that the child didn't have a "condition", and would be just fine if he were left alone. She is quite insane.
