« Since When Does Pro-Life Mean Killing the Disabled? | Main | Futile Care Theory » May 11, 2007Update on EmilioTopics: Futile Care LawsFrom KXAN: A brief filed by the court-appointed guardian ad litem is siding with the hospital.Unfortunately, the report suggests the guardian ad litem is expected to side with the hospital rather than the boys parents. The guardian ad litem is scheduled to make a recommendation to a judge on May 30 who will ultimately decide the childs fate.

I hope the judge will think for himself on this one. Even if Emilio's case is "futile", the doctors cannot say that he doesn't fit the criteria for a tracheostomy. Perform the surgery, let him go home with his mother, and who knows? But if he were mine, I'd want every moment I could have with him. Don't be so heartless and judgemental. Also, how can they say he's suffering when they claim he has so many infarcts in his brain? He's suffering? Hmm...won't he be suffering when he is asphyxiated and starved to death? Feed the child, perform the surgery, and for Heaven's sake- QUIT PLAYING GOD! Posted by: Kim Bermingham at May 14, 2007 7:19 AM Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment.

I just don't understand. Since when is it acceptable for any human to play God? No one should ever have the right to say that another person doesn't have the right to live! Emilio should have a tracheostomy and be allowed to go home with his mother, whether he lives 1 day or 1 century. She deserves that time with him. That's her baby, no one else's. It deeply sickens me to see this kind of thing happening in our great country.
