Agreed. I know we're sensitized to this now thanks to the Terry Schiavo case but it seems to me that delaying God's will through incredible artificial means is bound to cause tragic suffering sometimes.

I was also about to make some comment like, "this is what you get when you let someone else pay for your health care." But the story seems to suggest that money has nothing to do with it.

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

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.
