Yet they somehow believe that killing Baby Joseph would improve his "quality of life."

Wouldn’t it be nice if a pro-life doctor would just go in there and voluntarily do it for free.
bttt
I don’t know what to do except pray for this little fella. What a tragic sroty if it unfolds the way this hospital (Canadian govt right?) Has its way
This is but a glimpse into the future... where government panels, doctors and the “elite” will want to make these decisions for you... and use force if you disagree.
That would be nice, but the hospital would probably prevent that. This is just me guessing, but I believe once they get on a course of death, they don’t want to be embarrassed or vilified and have any other outcome—even if it is only for a few months of life. I think they will do all they can now to make sure that baby dies to justify what they have been doing. The vast majority of the public will soon forget and the hospital will be business as usual.
Though doctors have said Joseph is in a “vegetative state," Dr. Byrne called it a “made-up term” similar to the notion of “brain death,” which he said was invented “simply to get beating hearts for transplantation.”
Important words to remember.
Do not let doctors tell you your loved one is
a "vegetable"
or "in a vegetative state"
or "brain dead."
These are made-up terms, as Dr. Byrne says.
They were made up by an arrogant class of doctors/bureaucrats/organ profiteers, in order to convince frightened or confused family members to take their loved ones off of "life support," when this is often not in the patient's best interest.
And they’re threatening to sue people for suggesting they want to kill the child, even though they’re obviously doing whatever they can to kill the child.
I am of two minds on this. On one hand I am the father who wants to prolong the life of the child as long as possible.
On the other hand is the person who knows that even with the tracheotomy, it is just delaying the inevitable, and during that whole time, the parents are asking other citizens to continue to pay the huge medical costs so that they can spend a few more weeks with their dying baby.
I think that instead of appealing to the Canadian health care system, I would spend the time begging God to spare my child.
It’s beyond me why anyone would ever trust a “doctor” who doesn’t know the difference between vegetables and human beings.
First of all, the cost of a tracheotomy is next to nothing.
Secondly, Canadians PAY FOR THEIR HEALTH CARE in the form of very high taxes.
Finally, there are groups that are entirely willing and able to pay for Baby Joseph's care:
a doctor refusing to do such a simple proceedure is just plain egotistical and evil..
“On the other hand is the person who knows that even with the tracheotomy, it is just delaying the inevitable”
Hard to say that it is inevitable when they don’t know the cause. Besides, this is a relatively simple procedure that well allow the parents to take care of him for however long he has so why not?
That is what I was thinking..but the hospital would have to approve it..
That is the problem with National health care.. the bottom line is ALWAYS money
Money quote.
And the parents want to care for him at home, which will cost the state little to nothing, compared to hospital care.
