If you live in the USA, this has Terri Schiavo-energy all around. It’s different, I know. Terri was alive and braindead. This infant is gonna die. The court is sparing the infant pain.
But why would you keep a child alive to suffer? It’s like Terri in that the parents refuse to think about anyone other than themselves. That’s just cruel / terrible / bad.
People with ALS also have a terminal condition that requires life support. Maybe the NHS will start removing their ventilators too, to spare them further suffering.
I hear that human life invariably ends in death…
Why not pull the plug on all who suffer from that condition, then?
I’m certain the nihilists would be pleased by that paradigm…
( I agree with you: my point isn’t to contradict you, it is to point-out where the slippery-slope leads, which is waaay farther than what you illustrated. )
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?
