So, Bill Press is now in charge of defining religion? Since when do we believe the liberal, far left pundits who are rotten to the core?

Javona update...

Her life is in the hands of a judge.

...................................

The medical staff at Montefiore Hospital offered an explanation for the unexpected consequences of the “routine” operation. Apparently Javona suffered an allergic reaction to the anesthetic, which ended up provoking an oxygen insufficiency. The 90 minutes surgical intervention was performed by Dr. James Goodrich, who was aware of the girl’s condition, as he had previously met his young patient when she was only 3 years old.

What came as a tremendous shock for her parents turned into a legal fight weeks after the tragedy. The Bronx Supreme Court is set to rule a decision on January 7 on whether to take off Javona’s life support or not. The matter turned to the court of law as the two are not married and want different things for their daughter. While the mother, Janet Joseph, fights for full custody in order to potentially terminate her daughter’s vegetative state, the father, Leonard Peters fights for his daughter’s life.

In a ABCNEWS.com interview, Peters said: “When you see your kid go into the hospital, and then find out that she can’t talk or move, it is not a good feeling. […] It is not up to me to decide who lives and who dies. I don’t give life and I don’t take it away.”

This is not the first case when a family dispute reaches court, implying the right to decide someone’s fate. Terri Schiavo’s case became known when a Florida court granted her husband the right to remove her life support after seven years of legal disputes with Terri’s family. The case is a bit different if we take into account the age of the patient and the circumstances, but that still remains to be decided. The hearings are set for January 7, 2008.
