The doctors are the only ones who can make a decision that is really beneficial to the child here. The mother may not be ready to accept her child's death yet, but if the doctor in charge of his care knows there is no hope for his survival then his expertise gives him the responsibility of decision. It's not an issue of 'The State' making decisions on pulling plugs either, it's a medical diagnosis, not a political one.
