And now that crowdfunding account will likely be seized by the courts to pay for ‘publicly funded’ sexual reassignment surgery for the child of a same-sex couple who can’t afford to provide for their own child’s necessary procedure.
I disagree. The hospital doesn’t “own” that baby.
From what you say, it probably is hopeless. All doctors in U.S. would probably agree, so they should be required to find a doctor first.
invaluable and valuable mean the same thing.
Had Hillary Clinton become president, I’m confident that the U.S. could well have become a coast-to-coast death house, and things like this could well have occurred within our borders.
Hang the members of the court. Hang them high...
Their prerogative, not a court’s.
No, if any of those things were true, the US research institute would not allow transfer. The care is an experimental trmt in mitochondia, not a kids hospital. Very strict admissions to use a human in research.
For those who believe the doctors and courts were right, picture yourself with terminal end stage cancer. You are a gazillionaire and can pay for your own treatment. There is a unique treatment in Brazil that has potential (not guaranteed) for fighting your type of cancer and treatment options in the US Have been exhausted.. You want to live to see your daughter married. But, your HMO decides for you that the treatment is futile and since the HMO is in part government funded, the government helps make sure you don’t do it by revoking your passport. That is what has happened for this family and their (not the government’s) child.
I don’t like hospitals making decisions based on cost/benefit but understand that at some level all types of treatment cannot be available without limit. What I do not understand is the intervention here, where the parents have the funds to pay. In a country with easy abortion and euthanasia, it cannot be “for the children.” So is it power to control, fear of being shown up by US medicine, fear of expensive ongoing care needs once the baby comes back?, arrogance of “we know best?” Regardless, this is both sad and scary for all sorts of reasons.
It does open up an unasked question. Once the State pays for the “maintenance” on your body, just WHOSE body is it?
The hospital won’t even release the baby to go home to die. The parents wanted to take him home and were denied.
They already do, just not to this openly blatant extent. Did we learn nothing from Terry Shivo’s starvation death?
[Once the State pays for the “maintenance” on your body, just WHOSE body is it?]
Don’t ask millennials and other liberals.
They wants their gubmint healthcare.
And they trust liars like Hillary Clinton and Bronco ‘Bama.
Of course it’s but another reason that The Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama deftly and blatantly omitted “God” from traditional readings of U.S. documents.
I just got passed by some dolt this morning with what looked like an Obama ‘08 bumper sticker on his car. I just SMH.
The blindness is stunning. Has to be spiritual; it’s so deep.
Seems like it is inescapable now. Instead of the old system of a prospering economy, jobs and private healthcare, a Venezuela-type system is all the rage, now.
You can bet we’re heading towards the Mark of the Beast. It was never going to be avoided and they have their foot on the gas.
Just try and remove a child under 21 once they are admitted and you can be arrested and jailed, you technically surrender custody of your child when you admit them to a hospital, who then has final say on ALL treatment.

It happens more often than you think, and you can add in HOSPICE!
It’s a fine line when parents hold on so long it causes further harm to their child....this couple has held on too long....their child has been suffering by them going to one court after another....ALL who understood the condition of this child.....except the parents.
The child has been dying for some time....
This case isn’t even close to Terry Shivo.......
They’ve already been through countless Dr.s......and through every court. Even the Human Rights understand the condition of this child and wouldn’t hear further. The child has had all the signs of dying for sometime....
I stand with the physicians who understand the progression of this disease and of which, in this case, was advanced pretty much early on.
It’s so sad to see the parents holding on to false hope when the condition of their child has been so grave. Unnderstandable as that is sometimes the medical profession works to ‘protect the child’ from further suffering. It has gone on too long with all these court sessions etc.
I would agree in some cases, however in this case I cannot. From all I’ve seen on this case... the hospital, many physicians and the courts are trying very hard to ease this prolonged suffering of the child. It should not have come to this point.
There are good reasons why the parents were not allowed to take the child home as they hoped. There is far more relating to his health the parents are not, and have not in the past made known in their quest to sustain his body.
agree about Hospice...
Having seen the court and physicians reports...including the US Dr. who now says he did not realize the severity of his illness and condition......and that his treatment was unlikely to help..... even moreso the parents agreeing that his life as it is should not be sustained.....it’s pretty obvious the child needs to be let go.
I don’t know how the parents have stood 7 to 8 hours of their child having seizures.....which are severe and certainly indicate the vast brain damage. Let alone all the other ills...fro resperatory etc.
He is terminal regardless of efforts.....sadly so.
