But...the ultimate question is, kill him now or let the disease kill him.

Also in the article it does mention that they aren't sure which strain of this disease (congenital myasthenic syndrome,) the baby has and dependant on which, it can be treated.

I think my question is, has all options been exhausted and is it a matter of financial involvement that may be hindering his treatment?

Only God knows...

This must be a horrible thing for the parents to go through but I believe in God and I know that its not over until he says so...I will keep this family and little RB especially in my prayers....

I feel you but if a person will not survive once the machine is turned off, than God is saying that it's over and interfering in that when there is no chance for improvement is not right, to me.

Take him off the ventilator.

Keeping him on the ventilator is a selfish move for the parents.

Actually, if they took him off the ventilator, the disease would kill him, not the parents.

It's a semantic difference, but not an insignificant one.

This is what I hate about this whole debate! Withdrawing life support is NOT killing a patient. It is NOT providing extraordinary support to prolong life that cannot be supported by itself.

And if this is England, I doubt financial issues are at all involved. They have universal health care which should cover this child. This has to do with deciding whether or not it is more cruel to treat this child or to end his treatment.
