All the family had to do was fill out paperwork and find a facility. Up until recently they did neither. There are too many legal risks with just letting the family wheel her out of the facility, especially since the hospital is legally responsible for the body.

I hate that a breathing child of god is referred to as "a body". Jamie has a name. This is where I have trouble with the law and protocol. The parents should not be forced to have the child be either in a hospital or funeral home even if they can't or choose not to get more care. If the hospital has given up hope, Jamie should be with her parents.
