There is nothing that can be done for this child to live anything CLOSE to a normal life.

Her parents have chosen, in consultation with qualifed medical personnel, to try and make her life as comfortable and painfree as possible.

I believe if I had a child I would walk through the fires of hell (see...even anglos can be dramatic) to prevent my child from pain and suffering.

And that is what her parents are doing.

My family knows what I want in the event I am unable to communicate. This child cannot communicate so her parents must decide for her. What a huge, mind boggling responsibility. I do not believe they made it from anything but the desire to give the best possible quality of life under horrendous circumstances.
