Why? I worked with a man in Operation Rescue who carried breathing apparatus into a killing site in order to rescuse unborn babies.
Breathing apparatus (oxegyn tank) is different from a ventilator.
The tank requires you to breath on your own. The other doesn't.
I don't see how that is the same thing. If the child can only be kept alive by ventilation, with NO HOPE of being weaned from it, then he IS being kept alive by artificial means. In reality there are cases where people are kept alive only by machines when there is NO HOPE of survival.
Terri is not one of those cases, as has been proven over and over.
Goodnight prayer for Terri!
