Did you notice this?
>> After extensive evaluation, the combined opinion of a team of specialists was that the child would have no significant neurologic or cognitive improvements.
That's fortune telling. Doctors are no better at seeing the future than anyone else. Indeed, how many times have we seen patients confound the prognoses of medical specialists? Neither can anyone foretell what new treatments will be available in the future. Medical advances in recent years have been utterly astounding. But it's too late for this child. The doctors have stunted her and sterilized her. They have done irreversible damage to her.

I suspect if I were the parents of this child, this would be my reasoning. There is always hope.
Yet they have my sympathy.
