There's no double bind here at all. No amount of money is going to give this child any kind of a life.

"Dying naturally the way God intended" would occur after the ventilator was removed. Continuing the morphine would both relieve any pain, as well as depress respirations sufficiently that death would likely come more quickly.

It's a sad situation, but keeping him on the vent is sadder.
