SHS's good friend, attorney Jerri Ward, is gearing up to fight a case in Texas that is eerily reminiscent of the Haleigh Poutre case. An attorney ad litem for a terribly abused baby named David Coronado Jr., wanted to stop all treatment because the baby is expected to remain profoundly cognitively disabled. From the story:
The fate of a brain-damaged 6-month-old Dallas boy is uncertain after his court-appointed attorney on Tuesday withdrew a motion to let doctors take the baby off life support...The baby's attorney ad litem, Holly Schreier, told a juvenile district court judge that doctors at Children's Medical Center Dallas had assessed a change in the baby's condition. She did not say what the change was, and she did not return a call for comment.A few points: First, the child was only injured last month. What's the rush? Second: It is wrong for a guardian to want her ward dead "in his best interests" because he is expected to be seriously disabled if he survives. The message of that decision is stark: his death is better than living with serious disabilities--which I don't think a guardian should be allowed by law to assume.
A doctor reported in December that he expected David to suffer severe disabilities if he survived. It is unclear if doctors now expect the baby to remain in a vegetative or minimally conscious state. Meanwhile, word of the possible hearing on withdrawing the child's life support had spread over the weekend among right-to-life and disabilities-rights groups, at least one of which readied attorneys to intervene Tuesday morning. "Brains are very resilient, and in a 6-month-old baby, to conclude that he's neurologically devastated and is going to stay permanently that way I think is irresponsible," said Jerri Lynn Ward, an attorney representing Not Dead Yet, a disabilities-rights group.
ALL LIFE is "worth living"!

no, it isnt
Urgent Ping!
If your premise was true, which it ISN’T, what would you suggest as the “benchmark” and HOW would you keep it from changing?
They are saying here that the doctors have seen some improvement. Keep the prayers rolling.
The younger the person the more rewiring a brain can do
Thanks, I hadn’t heard about his case until just now.
Yes, what’s the rush?
What is your criteria for judging another persons life is worthless?
For now, all I know to do is pray. For little David Coronado Jr., and for the empty shells who think it’s a good idea to torture people to death, to “save” them from a life of imperfection.
Probably this:
Some people use up their assets, instead of giving up the ghost early and passing their stuff on to greedy relatives.
A baby this young has a chance of recovery as it's still "developing".
Wait until the euthanasia crowd needs some understanding and compassion. I'd snicker but still fight for their right to life.
Lord! I hate that picture!
What do you mean?
I hate what it represents. And we used it on the Terri threads. I’ve never understood wanting to kill the helpless.
Unfortunately, it represents EXACTLY what the culture of death is trying to do.
Yes and that’s why it makes me sick.
