(1,014 posts)Logically, I absolutely understand the need to have pulled the plug on this poor child a long time ago. As a nurse I most certainly get what is going on and have no doubts that she is truly gone, and that she is just a body being maintained by machines, sucking up resources and staffing that most certainly are desperately needed elsewhere.
HOWEVER, as a mother, I'm not sure how I logical I would be or how much common sense I would have if it was MY child laying in that bed. I understand that everybody grieves differently, and that is exactly what these parents are doing, they are grieving. It doesn't make their actions right, but in my mind at least, it does explain them. I really can't say how I would react if it was my child and I had to make such a horrible decision. I would rather die myself than have to make such a decision. My heart aches for the parents.
The T.S. group getting involved is just sleazy and gross and I wish they would have kept quiet. If their intentions were really genuine like they say they are, they would have kept quiet and not announced to everybody what they were doing. Gross.
