I’m on the fence on this one.

It on one hand is HIGHLY unlikely that this infant will ever have anything close to any sort of even low functioning existence. It’s also likely that he may be experiencing constant pain and torment.

Bottom line though is the choice IS NOT that of the state but rather absolutely and solely that of the parents.

I am not absolutely certain I agree with their choice but I am absolutely sure that the choice is there’s and there’s alone.

Then there’s no fence.

Agreed. Morally that is true

Unfortunately the legal system has decided to interfere with patient care

some people are not born to have some full life by our standard but to fulfill a need God knows is needing to be fulfilled.

look up “Eliot 99 balloons” on Youtube. (tissue alert)

Incase you or some who read this don’t want to look it up, short video about a boy who was not expected to live to be born and doctors wanted parents to abort, they had the baby who only lived 99 days and he touched many lives in person and by video.

There is a big picture, not just the smaller obvious ones.

It really sucks there is not a like button. This is why I only lurk here.
