"Now that we are all impressed by your heightened sense of morality, why don't you stop to deliberate the insanity of what you have uttered."

Playing god and keeping a child small for the CONVENIENCE of the parents is "compassionate"?

I say it's SICK.

I say it's playing god.

I say it selfishness at it's worst.

I'm sick and tired of people trying to justify selfishness as "compassion" - it's SICK. It's ungodly. If God wanted her small, He'd have made her stay that way.

No, I don't share YOUR immoral, self centered view of "compassion" twisted on its head.

Dear nmh,
I just sent you a private email but apparently I was wrong. So let me ask you this question.

My son has an intractable seizure disorder. He has had a corpus calosotomy to seperate the two halves of his brain to stop his drop seizures. He has a vagus nerve stimulater implanted that "shocks" his vagus nerve every five minutes to help control the complex partial seizures that he he suffers from. He also take 3 strong anti-epileptic drugs, LARGE doses mind you, to help control his seizures.

AM I PLAYING GOD BY TREATING MY SON MEDICALLY THIS WAY???

After all, God allowed me to get CMV when I was pregnant with him, that wreaked havoc in his brain and caused all of the brain damage. Am I playing God for seeking any kind of medical help for him?

Do you take any medication?

It's just this family's good fortune that you are not God and will never judge them. [The rest of us are relieved, too.]

Do you disagree with all medical treatment? I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.

Obviously, from the article, God wanted her to have "...
static encephalopathy [so she] cannot walk or talk ... or keep her head up, roll over or sit up by herself [and to be] fed with a tube.

She wasn't born with a feeding tube either.
