In her ruling, Moores wrote that the medical experts had assured her that "he will never be able to eat by mouth. . . . He would likely be blind and deaf. He will never sit, stand, roll over, crawl, talk, smile, laugh or in any way interact meaningfully with his environment."

That this could be used as a basis is more scary than people not close to such situations could realize.

We heard the same thing about our own son in the first few months with the solemn judgement he could not possibly live more than six months. Two decades later, doctors were saying the same thing. So much for that kind of medical advice...

Doctors are so often wrong, and we can't kill people because some judge or doctor decides their quality of life is too poor to live. But, of course, most of us here know that. Wish we could convince more people in the rest of the country.
