Baby Daniel's Fight...

The Futile gang is at it again in Texas!

Baby Daniel is nearly brain-dead. He cannot breathe without a ventilator. He cannot eat without a feeding tube. And if his mother doesn't find another hospital, the doctors at Children's Medical Center Dallas will disconnect him from the machines and he will die. The hospital's ethics board has ruled that it would be futile and inappropriate to keep Daniel alive – despite his mother's wishes to try.

The child's fate could be settled after a judge hears the case Friday.

North Country Gazette's June Maxam continues on Mikey...

Patricia Fields Anderson, one of the attorneys who represented the Schindler family in their battle to try and save the life of their brain disabled daughter, said about Michael Schiavo, "It's hard to know what to believe with him because he says whatever the occasion demands or what is in his financial interests".

That continues today with his book.

Baby Daniel is "nearly brain dead" in Texas. So what does "nearly" mean? He's not as far gone as they hope, so if they starve him and cut off his air, he'll go from nearly to definitely?

Texas is outrageous!

From the article on Baby Daniel:

'"I have concerns that Dixie may not be able to care for Daniel to maintain his multiple medical needs," wrote Sally Adams, a pediatric nurse practitioner at the hospital's low birth weight clinic. "I consider Daniel to [be] high risk for his multiple medical problems regardless of his home and social situation or his mother's problems."'

But yet they are so quick to take away his life support, including nourishment.
