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.
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.
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.
a doctor refusing to do such a simple proceedure is just plain egotistical and evil..
I do not understand this at all.
This is what happens when medical care is politicized, and this is what happens when your doctor answers to someone else besides the patient and the patient’s family.
While I am sorry that this family is having to go through this horrible situation, I am wondering why they never were clued in when their 8-year-old died (apparently from this same neurological problem). A couple I know had two children, both of whom were severely neurologically “disformed” (one lay in her bed for some 18 months before she died...never as much as sat up). It came obvious to them that there was a problem in their genetic material, i.e., should have never had children together and they stopped. Why didn’t this couple?
