no.
However,this is not assisted suicide, the baby is already dead.
You can blow air into a corpse via a ventilator for a long time.
The person looks alive as the ventilator is blowing air into him, but the patient is dead.

He has occasional spontaneous eyelid opening and movements of his lower extremities. His pupils do

not react to light and he has neither visual fixation nor following. His brainstem reflexes are

either abnormal or absent. He exhibits limb withdrawal to pain, but no purposeful response to

pain. He demonstrates facial grimacing with secretions and stimulation (i.e. suctioning,

repositioning, changing diaper). In summary, his neurological examination remains grossly

abnormal and the clinical findings reflect a severe and widespread neurological injury. JM has

failed removal of the breathing tube previously requiring replacement (November 8-11, 2010).

He remains on a ventilator with a background rate. Many attempts have been made to allow

him to breathe spontaneously on the ventilator; however, within short periods of time, the

ventilator reverts to a backup rate due to prolonged periods without breaths.”

Why dont you show your pulmonologist father in law this report?

You are basing this on nothing more than your opinion, it IS NOT based on ANYTHING in the report you posted.

I did, he's of the opinion that Baby Joseph may very well die within a few months, but that he can live without the ventilator as long as he has the tracheotomy.

You’re in the wrong profession. Have you ever considered becoming a mortician?

This is just propaganda, and quite a poor attempt at that, Nurse Mengele. If you truly believe this, I truly feel sorry for you.
