Oh, God. My heart breaks for the family. What have we come to in this country when medical doctors don't work to sustain life? Does not the hypocratic (sp) oath say that doctors are to "do no harm"?

I'm ready to march on William McCulloch's court.

"Texas law allows hospitals to discontinue life-sustaining care, even if a patient's family members disagree. A doctor's recommendation must be approved by a hospital's ethics committee, and the family must be given 10 days from written notice of the decision to try and locate another facility for the patient."

You need to march on the legislature.

This baby had no chance... Even with the ventilators it would eventually suffocated to death... My coworker saw this baby with his own eyes because his baby was being taken care of in the same room for a totally different condition. He said you could tell that it was suffering. Also... He said the mother only visited a couple of times a week until it started making the news.
