Aside from the very dangerous and barbaric precedent that the Ontario Court attempted to here establish of "forcing consent" by Baby Joseph's parents to remove his breathing tube regardless of their wishes and beliefs that doing so would be contrary to God's law (and unnecessarily snuff out baby Joseph's young life and chance for further treatment), this development conclusively demonstrates the inherent risks in governments holding such power over health care, (a situation we are well on our way to with Obama style "health reform" in this country). And this is true no matter how "scientific" or benevolent its motives may be in providing health care to its citizens. In light of the reference by "Doug" from dorfonlaw above to another hospital's declining to accept Baby Joseph for treatment we thought it apt to note this new development. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Baby Joseph and his parents. jpJ Pahnkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752327561899741414noreply@blogger.com
