7. In a world of limitless resources, yeah sure

Fuck, if we didn't have to worry about energy and resources, I'd say freeze every person in cryogenic suspension the second after their death so that maybe we could revive them a few hundred years from now.

Unfortunately, we don't have limitless resources. This girl's prolonged life support will bankrupt this poor family, as well as deny hospital care and services to other children in need of medical care.

The child is as dead as medical science can conclusively prove. She's been on life support far longer than any of the handful of similar cases that people point to to give hope she'll come back, so the body is already deteriorating more every day.
