I just called them too. I had to leave a voice mail. The voice mail obviously wasn't full since I was able to leave one. Please spread the word on this and put the pressure on these folks. I am just beside myself over this.

IF the facts as presented in this article were true, and if that were my child, I would be sitting in a jail cell and some hospital personnel would themselves be hospitalized.

Hmmm....But there are no Death Panels, right?

Just “Ethics Panels”...Whew am I relieved that Sarah was wrong.

This is outragous.
Where did these Nurses get their training. the MENGELE School of Nursing.
I hope these Drs and Nurses that are taking part in this rot in Hell.

Does their "Ethics Panel" have a new member from The Netherlands? This is outrageous. I'm sending the Alliance Defense Fund a donation today! They want to cover up their obvious (I think) malpractice when they caused the "pulmonary vascular" disease (probably pulmonary hypertension--my guess). He may be so bad that he will now need a heart/lung transplant.

Lord, please help this little one, if it is your will. Do not let this be the start of many such cases to be brought on by government-run healthcare. Do not let euthanasia take root in this country. In your name, we pray. Amen.

“After doctors decided that Baby Gabriel was not worth treating,....”

Were these “Doctors” imported from the UK? How in the “H” did they, could they possibly think they have the right to make such decisions much less act upon them.

I agree with poster #2.

[GrannyAnn]

Seems odd....why wouldn't they let the parents transfer him to another hospital? Is this a government run hospital and the parents don't have the means? Would the government be on the hook for this kid's care even if he left this hospital? Is this all about dollars? If so, get ready everyone for Obama’s death panels.

This baby must be saved. Sounds like my grandson’s condition. See here : http://cryanjackson.blogspot.com/

Oh God! How Long will you suffer this wicked generation?

“Staff stopped bathing him, ceased applying cream to alleviate his chapped skin, reduced his diaper changes, “

If true, law enforcement and child protective services should be called.

Here’s government health care for you. Uninterested, unapposed “officials” deciding who lives and who dies.

[Mr. Silverback]

Whenever you hear someone gassing on about how conservative it is to support assisted suicide, remember this case.

Some folks reading this post are scratching their heads now. “What, has Silverback finally gone nuts?,” they’re asking themselves. “What does this have to do with a terminal adult deciding on an early relief from pain?”

Well, here’s what, boys and girls: When the politicians sold TennCare to the people, they not only didn’t say anything like “And in a few years we’ll start denying care to handicapped babies,” they told people that the purpose of having a state health care program was to protect families like this, to give health care to the poor, and ensure that those who were already insured could care for their loved ones in bad scenarios without going broke.

So don’t be surprised when “You can check out early and with dignity...trust me” turns into “Your care is futile. Get dead, Gramps.”

I can’t believe this. How awful.

[Deo volente]

We live in a country where a “women’s health care provider” can leave a newborn baby who happens to survive an abortion in a closet to die, and not suffer any sanction.

We’ve fallen so far that just about any atrocity is conceivable at this point.

[GeronL]

These people are heartless if this is accurate. Soulless

[mancini]

I called and had to leave a message. Bless his little heart.

[Faith]

I just called. If they are on the line with someone else, you can leave a message. Tell them what you think.

[trumandogz]

Who is paying for the baby’s care at the hospital?

[In Maryland]

I remember in elementary school being taught about the Spartans who, when a sickly child was born, left it in a field to die. It was used then as an example of barbarism - now it’s just standard operating procedure. Sick.
