ethical debate....

i don't want to get involved in this ethical debate but i find it interesting that the mother said that she want her son to die "naturally, the way God intended." nevermind the fact that he wouldn't be alive except for man's intervention with life support. ok, so i guess i entered the debate. i don't think that life support should be taken away because she's poor, but i do think that it's not a good idea to keep someone alive who won't have a chance at living a happy, full life (whatever that might mean...). it's a hard to choice to make for your son, but sometimes the better choice is let him go, knowing that he won't suffer anymore. i don't mean to sound unsympathetic. i know it's a tough choice and one that i hope that i never have to make. i hope that they will make the best choice for that child.
