I do not think doctors are God or anything like it. But I also know that a body on a ventilator is NOT the same as a comatose patient breathing on their own.

Remove the ventilator and see how her body responds… if death overtakes her then maybe her parents will finally accept it

Christopher Reeve was on a vent. Stephen Hawkings is now on a vent and writing a book.

A *lot* of people go onto a vent while they heal.

Why is it so unreasonable to try to help this girl? For three weeks, she’s received no medical attention (other than the vent and dealing with her other - perfectly healthy - bodily functions) and NO food or nutrition.

What would the harm have been? If the doctors were right, then she’d be dying anyway and the parents could at least know that everything had been done.

Isn’t that how we’re supposed to treat children??
