The courts are involved. I would imagine the hospital will be granted temporary guardianship to save the child’s life.


It seems as though the request should be easy to grant. You people who jump to state control as the solution are the worst.

Deciding that a reasonable request like this not be considered is what would be killing the child.

I suspect that the parents think that what they are doing is in the best interest of the child. A “ped nurse” certainly shouldn’t have any influence on that decision. Doctors should only have influence if it’s an immediate life saving decision.

It’s the doctors that head up the ethics committees and decide to seek legal intervention. Please point out where I said I have anything to do with those decisions.

But the nurses and other staff caring for the patient also obviously know what is going on, since we are the ones dealing with the family on a more regular basis.
