Pulling the plug against the family's wishes

[glatt]

Damn this article. At the top, it says his problems are that he can't see, can't eat, can't talk, can't breathe, is in pain, and there is no cure. I wrote this big long post listing the reasons why the plug shouldn't be pulled, since the kid isn't in a coma. His symptoms suck, but he is alert. You don't pull the plug on people who are awake.

After writing the big long post, I re-read the article, and it isn't until I see buried in the tail end of the article that the boy "is unaware of his surroundings." In my mind, that is the biggest point, and they bury it. Put it in the first paragraph CNN, you morons.

Anyway, they should pull the plug. Let the poor kid go.
