How many Canadian health care advocates hope the baby dies?
Maraachli and Nader fought to bring Joseph home to Windsor so he could spend his last days surrounded by loved ones. [...] Although the couple has accepted their baby boy's inevitable death, they insisted that it occur peacefully at home and not by removing his breathing tube, which will cause him to choke since he can't swallow or breathe on his own. The parents asked for a tracheotomy, which would open up a direct airway through an incision in Joseph's trachea and make it possible to bring the baby home.Sadly, there's plenty of government intrusion into healthcare in the US, too. As many people have pointed out elsewhere, though, if he'd been born in the US, he might very well have already been gone by now (with the tracheotomy, he'd have been taken home to die rather than have been left on respirator at hospital all this time).
