IMHO, the girl is beyond "severely disabled" as it's often used. The full article states she's mentally an infant and apparently will never ever grow beyond those limitations.

And there are full-grown adults with similar disabilities and their caregivers are able to take care of them.

very true! as much as i'm sure her parents agonized over the decision to proceed with this treatment, they are also very aware of her limitations and growing dependence on their care. they want to do all they can to care for her themselves. i think this is an admirable decision.
