This isn’t a situation where a perfectly healthy child is injured.

This is a terminally ill child, whose parents and doctors have decided it’s not in her best interests to artificial resuscitate her when her time comes.

You have no right to tell parents they have no right to make a decision for your child because it offends you.

You have no right to tell parents they have no right to make a decision for your child because it offends you.

This sentence is confusing, to say the least.

But I will repeat: no one has the right to compel me not to help a person who is dying in front of me.

I do not care if the would-be compeller is the dying person's parent, or friend, or warden, or slavemaster or gardener.

My conscience is my own.
