I have been discussing this elsewhere and have been labeled as un-Christian, rude, and heartless.
The girl has been declared brain dead twice now. She cannot breathe on her own. There is no brain activity. She will not recover, I don't care how hard you pray. The family involved has a facebook page where they posted a quote about "what is a black life worth?"...how is this a race issue? Who is paying for this prolonging? I read the attorney's cease/desist order, and some stuff highlighted make me believe that it certainly not the family. (http://www.cbdlaw.com/Letter-to-CHO.PDF)
Anyway, thought I would see what you all have to say. Enjoy!
I say, unplug it...donate any organs/tissue that are viable.
Quote:The family of a 13-year-old girl left brain dead after tonsil surgery says Children’s Hospital Oakland is unwilling to meet their request to keep her on life-support through the holidays.
Jahi McMath's family says they feel doctors were dismissive of their request. The family attorney, Chris Dolan, says he will now seek to file a motion Friday morning to prevent the hospital from removing Jahi from a ventilator.
Dolan says they also sent a letter Thursday to Children’s Hospital asking for several things, among them, giving the 13-year-old a nutrition tube, keeping her on the ventilator through Christmas, and giving the family 48 hours’ notice should doctors decide to ignore the family’s wishes and take her off of life-support.
The family believes the 8th grader can still recover.<snip>
