I don't believe there is a law that hospitals are required to take extraordinary measures to keep a baby alive (tubes, pumps, ventilation, etc) ... just palliative care. Anyone know? Since the parents are the health care proxy for their minor children, they make the decision about the level of care their babies will receive. If the baby has no chance of survival, I believe they can ask that no resuscitation be given at birth, so the parents can just spend time with the baby without all the tubes, machines, etc.

Thank you, and you may be happy to know that the remainder of our children were very healthy. I believe you were blessed for your openness to God's will.

I believe you were blessed for your openness to God's will. There have also been times in my life when I believe I've been punished for not adhering to God's will. I can't explain it, but the circumstances were such that I simply can't deny it. Strange stuff, Horatio!
