Father wavers on dehydrating daughter to death

We have a new case of a young person in danger of being dehydrated to death because she is said to be in a "persistent vegetative case." Her father, who has custody, has resisted but now is wavering. We should pray for him.

We should also, in my opinion, resist the urge to emphasize the possibility that the diagnosis is mistaken and that she will improve. Even if she never improves, she should not be dehydrated to death.

Read the rest of my post on this case here, at What's Wrong with the World.
