God help this poor girl.

Parents divorced and arguing over her. Lawsuit against the hospital in the wind. Some trial lawyer is going to see big money in suing the hospital, and will hook up with one of the parents. The primary motivator will probably be the lawsuit money and not the child’s welfare, just as it was with Terri Schiavo’s greedy husband.

The faster she dies, the faster someone can get rich.

Unfortunately, you are probably right.

From a legal standpoint this may not be the "cash cow" you might think it is. If the parents are not on good terms there will be an enormous amount of time and money spent in court just to figure out which of the two has the legal standing to file any kind of lawsuit in the case.

If my memory is accurate, a major lawsuit in the infamous Amadou Diallo case in New York City is still being held up for this very reason.

That’s why so many embrace euthanasia today — it’s the money, as the liberals said in Watergate, keeps your eyes on the money!

Correction for you: parents were never married.
