		<description>it is a very sad situation, and even though I don&#039;t agree with the family&#039;s interpretation, I&#039;m tremendously disturbed by the notion that a hospital could disregard the parents&#039; wishes.  This is a scary slippery slope to euthanasia.

I&#039;m also scared by the comments on Turley&#039;s blog, which seem to be &quot;suck it up, you dumb ortho jews.&quot;  in the original article in the post, it was made clear that Children&#039;s was not complaining about the cost (although I&#039;m skeptical) but the diversion of a bed and staff to keep the patient alive.  I agree that the hospital can legitimately say &quot;we are a not-for-profit institution and we can&#039;t afford to keep this kid alive when there is no possibility of recovery and the kid is clinically dead.&quot;  But if cost is not an issue, I&#039;m not sure that their approach is right.</description>
