Emilio Gonzales...

This came out minutes ago:

Today's hearing was originally set for April 19th, but the court-appointed lawyer for 18-month-old Emilio Gonzales needed more time and information on the case. Officials at Children's Hospital of Austin say the boy is suffering from a disease that will ultimately kill him, and they say there's nothing more to do for him. The baby's mother is fighting the decision to remove her son from life support, saying it's up to God,not doctors to decide when her son dies.

A judge could decide whether a young boy lives or dies

Reference Emilio above...

A judge will reschedule the next court date for a critically ill baby who has been kept alive by life support.

Tuesday's temporary injunction hearing for 17-month-old Emilio Gonzales was postponed because three key witnesses will not be able to attend.

A scheduling conference will be held Tuesday morning instead.

Emilio Gonzales' court date rescheduled

Poor Emilio, living at the temporary sufferance of grown-ups who kill little boys.

Why is this being decided at law? Why are the courts and judges and lawyers instrumental? Wasn't this whole right-to-die thing about "family decisions" and death with "dignity"? In Terri Schiavo's case, Judge Greer resolutely, year after year, refused to let her family have anything to say. He put her to death himself.

Exactly. Whatever happened to "do no harm"?

Prayers for Emilio, his mom, and all concerned.
