Exactly. They can’t because their hospital decided “lol, no”. These doctors are probably barely one step above ambulance chasers. The only thing they could say is that a tracheostomy would help her breathe. Okay, what about her other issues?If "other doctors do not think her case is hopeless" then why do they not take her on in their covering hospitals? If they really thought she had a chance they would have let her be transfered to them.
I can’t help but laugh at the name “Texas Right to Life.” What about the right to die a dignified, peaceful death? What about being compassionate enough to put an end to constant suffering and what amounts to torture at this point?
A long time ago, I was watching a TV show and they discussed human euthanasia. One character said, “We treat dogs better!” And we do. As hard as it is to euthanize a beloved pet, we do it because we understand when they are in severe pain and slowly dying that it’s the best thing to do. I don’t understand why we don’t afford humans the same mercy.
I realize there is a line here. Obviously, a child is not a dog. However, after almost two(!) years of seeing your child in this state, wouldn’t you at least decide that enough is enough, and it doesn’t matter how much heartbreak you feel, it’s about what the child is going through?
