Which group will be next?
The elderly?
Or what about premature infants? They have a much higher instance of developing disabilities due to their prematurity.

This child has a feeding tube (through the nose) Does this child not deserve to live?

Thank you for posting that, sfimom.

My son was born at 32 weeks and had a feeding tube. According to the death-ghouls, he should have been "allowed" to die. I was actually told that his "quality of life" possibly wouldn't be very good so why should I "take the chance", rack up hospital bills, etc.

Needless to say, he'll be 5 years old soon. He was reading at age 3, and today, reads at a 4th grade level. He has not one thing physically or mentally wrong with him (though, he can be a clutz sometimes, but I suspect that he got that from me. :))

Yeah, his "quality of life" turned out to be something really awful, didn't it?

God Bless Terri and her family and all who pray for them!
