Between this and the total lack of coverage of the child in Texas who was taken off a ventilator over his parents objections I just do not understand what the media has become. Or maybe what our society is becoming.

It's complicit in getting rid of the inconvenient.

There was a major difference in the child in Texas and this case. The child had a 100% fatal genetic disorder that cannot be cured, treated, or repaired. Most babies with it are stillborn or die within hours/days of being born. When they took the child off the ventilator he died within seconds. Even with the ventilator, the child would have died within a few months to maybe a year or so.
