It is inhuman to not allow the family to do this.

This is an outrage. That child is a human being; not government property.
do you think justin beiber would approve?
apparently the child can not just "go" home, unless he has a trach placed...the family apparently had another child die of a similar disorder several years ago, and took care of that child at home until she died...
I have to say that putting a trach in would not be simple in a terminally ill child, the trach requires extensive almost constant care, and would be horribly uncomfortable, what with trach care and suctioning etc...
so putting a trach in comes with its own set of problems.....
its too bad the family can't just take the baby home....but can't fault the decision not to place a trach...
