I'm not usually a fan of a "slippery slope" argument but in this case I wonder where one draws the line at doing things to make caring for her more convenient for her parents.

That's what's bothering me. You nailed it right on the head.
In some cases, not calling her by her given name and instead, referring her to as an object "pillow angel" it sort of dehumanizes her and might make it easier for them to view her as such instead of a person that can feel pain.
