No way is a hospital in the US going to accept this patient.

Why do you say this?

Home care would cost in the hundred of thousands of dollars if this baby managed to live another 6 months.

Do you have a basis for this claim or are you just repeating the culture of death's talking points?

Is this Father Pavone going to pay for that care? Doubt it. He wants to dump this on the already fragile health care system with a non American family taking away US taxpayer dollars.

Again you are making a claim that has no basis in fact.

You can put diagrams on how simple a trach procedure is. However, the equipment needed and the support services required for home care is immense.

The culture of death loves to talk in non-specific, yet alarming, terms that cannot be substantiated.

This has been going on for decades:

This person suffering from hereditary defects
costs the people 60,000 Reichmarks during his lifetime.
People, that is your money. Read ‘New People’.

Facts are bothersome. Apparently, so is morality.

Yes, I do know how much it costs. A way lot more than you do. That is why a hospital will not accept this patient. There would also be a placement problem, where would this baby go? Home? The Canadian government will not pay for the care.
Are you afraid of dying?
We all will die someday.
Why should everyone die hooked up to a ventilator costing hundreds of thousands of dollars?
I would think, if you are religious, that dying is just another phase of our soul.
Right now, you are encouraging torture.
The Hitler comparison is stupid.
Hitler executed people with developmental disabilities. That is horrible.
We are talking about a dying child with probable minimal brain function.
