& Alfie Evans. When the police get involved to ensure your kid dies that's a level of fucked up to avoid.
I think some distinction should be made between an extremely disabled person and something that while in human (or nearly human) form, lacks all the traits of personhood. When resources are limited, they should be saved for the living.
Tinslee lost the genetic lottery and has multiple severe diseases. Individually they would be really fucking bad, and together they're not compatible with life. Her heart and lungs are completely fucked. Her heart is so fragile that if she just moves a little it could send her into full cardiac arrest and kill her, and since her mom won't let nature take it's course, she has to be sedated at all times.
It's possible for brain dead patients to regain further measurable signs of life and for loved ones the hope of a crippled child is much better than a dead one.
In these tard baby cases, most of the time we're talking about someone who never even had a brain in the first place, or something that wouldn't be good enough for a lizard.
Brain-dead is the same as straight up dead for all intents and purposes, and no one can become un-dead after being that way for longer than a few minutes. Go find another board to shitpost on so we can get back to tard baby discussions in peace.
I'm contributing to the discussion you idiot fag but I'll spare you any further essays.
levo is used as a pressor to hold up blood pressure in brain death patients.

I agree about the UK actually stopping parents from seeking help if they can pay for it, but I don't think enormous amounts of public money that could be helping actual people should be spent watering potatoes for a million a year or so.
It's unsmart to want to pull the plug on fucked up IRL Weekend at Bernie's remakes with dead kids?
I've discovered this is the wrong thread to argue the morality and legality of life support.
How is keeping corpses of dead children pointlessly on life support moral?
It is the duty of healthcare to preserve life. Cost and arbitrary timelines of care only make sense when unnecessary medical procedures are not covered. But they are. So why restrict care when someone is on life support? Being brain dead is only a portion of actual death and it has been a temporary phase in some cases. The costs can be cut elsewhere such as elective procedures or have the next of kin pay towards the keep.
They're not alive, they're brain dead. Brain dead is dead
No. It's a phase of death, you need to stop the circulatory system as well.
Brain death is never a temporary condition it is a medical diagnosis. But the brain may be dead and the brain stem is still alive which allows for respiration, heart beat, etc. Primitive reflexes also return mimicing life.
meaning you've got to turn off the machine that is doing that, stop giving the heap of drugs that's making it do it
