We had an infant daughter in an Episcopal Hospital in NY. We decided to cease the extraordinary medical services she was receiving, but not euthanasia. We met with an ethics committee the size of a grand jury, who agreed. She died a week later. Those are unimaginably sorry times. I'm sorry for your loss.
