I never cease to be awed by so much medical progress we benefit by today and I believe there will be much more in the future. These procedures are intended to save lives, improve lives.
Reliance on a machine to breathe for someone is an entirely different scenario.
A poster (was it you?) recommended this little 13 month old boy should have an operation and be sent home with his father who would care for him. That is the first I heard any mention of an operation to improve his condition and that, as a result, his father could take him home and care for him. What do you know about this operation?
You didn’t read the whole post. My 9 y/o daughter offered her suggestion—to find a child the same age with no brain or super severe brain damage but a good body, and have a brain transplant operation, so both of them can live.
Who knows? Maybe when she’s an adult that will be possible.
