This baby was premature with very serious health issues. She has been in a coma since almost being birthed. The measures to keep her alive are extra-ordinary and even painful to the baby. The mother is a young woman and has been advised of all the facts. Yes, she should have the say on removing life support but seems to be unable to face reality. A resolution is necessary as the fact is this baby is not going to get better.
Just to clarify. As I’ve read and understand, she is not now, nor has she ever been in a coma. But she is heavily medicated with painkillers, sedatives and paralytics, I believe since she went into respiratory arrest in early July.
