People need to have control over what happens to them. In this case, the family should have had more control over what happened to this child.

To all of those who oppose euthanasia I say, Fine. You don't need to do it. Just don't interfere with my choice here.

It's exactly what I say to the anti choicers: if you don't believe in abortion then don't have one.

But NO ONE has the right to dictate these choices to anyone else.
