[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The experience that most cemented my pro choice view was a clinical rotation in pediatric long term ventilator ward with children sustained on vents for years with brain damage, just laying in a bed due to congenital abnormality, eyes staring, getting suctioned through their trachs all day. [/quote] Children do not spend years in vent wards. They are discharged home. They receive vent support at home. You don’t get to remove other people’s children from life support. Unless you want to be one of those “angel of death” medical professionals who kill their patients to “end their suffering.” Those people are jailed because they are psychopaths masquerading as medical professionals. [/quote] Usually at home, but yes there are some places that provide permanent long term care for children. Hospital for Sick Children in DC is one. Not sure why you think you are an expert on chronic vent patient care? Have you, personally, cared for these patients? And I was not advocating for removing them, but cemented for me my own choice if pregnant with a child with a major medical condition facing a life like that if I continued with the pregnancy. Do you believe I should he allowed that choice? I also have provided care for other adult chronic vent patients. There are long term care hospitals in the area where these patients reside like both Bridgepoint locations or Cadia Hyattsville. Sometimes this makes sense and sometimes we sustain people literally because the family cannot let go. This is why most healthcare workers would not choose excessive intervention, because they have seen the ramifications up close. The Pitt is a show that does a good job displaying a family going through the decision to let a loved one die vs attempt futile intervention in hope of a miracle. Anyway, if this is what the family wanted, great, but if not, I take it you believe they should not have had a choice? That is the biggest question here, not the specifics of this case, but whether a family is allowed to choose. [/quote] Each family should have a choice. Chance is not a chronic vent patient. Why do you think your experience with chronic vent patients should be relevant to his personal medical treatment? What do you think about the people here who posted that Chance was blind, would never be able to walk, has severe disabilities, etc, without knowing the actual truth about him? They would not have access to Chance’s medical records. But they still pretended they knew his condition. Why would strangers lie about an unborn baby?[/quote] You don’t know anything about this baby either. Stop pretending that you care to advance your agenda.[/quote] Grandma said her grandson is doing well and is actually bigger than most babies his age. That’s her quote. [/quote]
