I do believe I’ve heard that. In my case, it was fortunate to be found out ahead of time.
The lack of tests this article describes is troubling, as well.
Sure hope this wasn’t all about the $$$.

Not necessarily. You can't just keep draining blood out of an infant for tests. It takes the same amount of blood to do a test on an infant as on an adult, but the volume of blood available is much smaller. The anemia mentioned was likely induced by blood draws for testing. Sure, you can replace blood volume with transfusions, but for a fragile infant with an immature immune system, this is not without risks, and it also clouds the results of subsequent blood tests.
LifeSite is a tabloid-type publication, with little regard for facts. They'll publish just about anything to draw hits to their site, the wilder the claims, the better. They routinely omit pertinent information that would detract from their endless message of "Omigod! These evil people just love murdering babies!"
When I see things like the quote from Dr. Byrne, who has never treated this baby and apparently has no direct access to the baby's medical records, saying: “Of course brain death never was true death and never will be true death. It was something that was just made up so they could get [organs] for transplantation.”, I know I'm reading a steaming pile of manure. There is very little need for organs for transplantation into tiny infants, and that's the only thing tiny infant organs are good for. And the idea that the Canadian government healthcare system, in which it's difficult to get even basic care, is scrambling to get infant organs for transplantation is too preposterous for words.
The parents actually sound quite reasonable, and willing to let go if they get independent confirmation that little Isaiah is effectively brain-dead. http://www.calgaryherald.com/business/Dispute+erupts+over+fate+baby/2462903/story.html
