When I first read the article, I was horrified that the parents would do that. But because I'm bored at work, I read through the parent's website, the links to related articles they had, and all the feeback comments from the MSNBC Message Board, and while I can't imagine having to put my child through this, I really think the parents had Ashley's best interest at heart, especially when they talk about being able to prevent bedsores and having a lower risk of infections and bladder infections.
I think its important (at least to me, for myself to base an opinion) to realize that she'll be a 3 month old forever and it says she has no chance of improvement - and I can't imagine a 3 month old going through puberty, or being so large that a mother couldn't pull her into her lap to comfort her, or even bathe her easily.
A hard decision, and I'm not sure what I'd do, but I can't blame the parents for wanting to improve the quality of their daughters life, which from the article and their website, seems like it will be vastly better due to this treatment.
