(8,380 posts)and nothing could be done to help her, then I cannot fault the parent. Reading only this article, it appears this mother loved her child so much that she didn't want to see her suffer unnecessarily.
I am a speech-language pathologist, and I work with many children with various disabilities, and I know that every parent whose child I work with would be devastated to have to make a decision like this, and every one of them would grieve the loss of their child, but I think they, too, would not want their child to suffer with no relief.
I really don't see in the article where it was all about the mother. Rather, it seems it was about the mother's love for her child. Who SHOULD make such a decision, except for the person or persons who love the child the best?
