Charlotte Wyatt/White not sure her name exactly Options

[racoons > you]

Charlotte's a baby born at twenty three weeks.

She's blind deaf and dumb, and has almost no chance of recovering those senses, even should she survive

the hospital [placed her in an incubator, and kept her on medication, in order to keep her alive. She has clinically died several times, but because medicine is sufficiently advancem, doctors keep re-booting her respiratory system, or whatever it is they do exactly, in order to keep her alive.

This is at the wishes of her parents, sctrict christians who want charlotte kept alive in case of a miracle, and that that 99.99% chance of her not surviving turns out not to be the case.

However, doctors have said that her quality of lfe is such that she is in almost constant pain, will never gain any basic senses or be able to walk, and they hve requested permission from the courts to stop treating her, and allow her to die peacefully. Not to actively kill her, note, but rather to withhold treatment should her tiny body fail again.

The judge, against Charlotte's parents' wishes, awarded this right to the hospital, and now Charlotte will be allowed to dieif her heart or lungs fail again. this has angered the parents, who say they love their daughter, and want her kept alive. they have appealed against the court's decision

What do you think? should it be the paents choice, or should doctors be allowed to do what they think is best. I belivev that the parents love for their daughter has clouded their judgemnet, and that Charlotte's 'life' is of such poor quality that she should be allowed to drift out of her misery of her own accord.

i dont think that they should keep trying to keep her alive at this point, as shes not had a life yet, and thus wont know what shes losing. its cruel of the parents to be keeping her alive at this point. which is not to say that the doctors should kill her, i dont believe in euthenasia, but if they stopped treating her, she most likely wouldnt survive and as christians they should think that that would be the natural way of it. of course, now im rambling and probably never got to an actual point, but ill revise later for clarity ...
yes what she said
