The young couple whose baby was born 3 months premature and then suffered a stroke has been the centre of a euthanasia debate. The couple wanted to withdraw the breathing machine and feeding tubes and Doctors refused, saying they needed to determine what quality of life the child would have.
It has now been established that the child would have a very poor quality of life and the parents wishes are now being put into operation.
What a terrible time for a young couple being the centre of media attention at such a distressing moment in their life. Sad though the decision is I personally think it is the right one. I hope in time they go on to have a family but I am sure this child will stay in their hearts and memories.
