I'm disgusted anyone would DARE to judge this family's decision and you really ought to go read their website, which is heartbreaking. To the person who was disturbed that the family could presume to know their child's reproductive future, YOU DON'T HAVE A FREAKIN' CLUE, DUDE. The child is comatose, ALL MENTAL DEVELOPMENT STOPPED AT AGE 3 MONTHS. She doesn't recognize her own parents! There is ZERO hope for any further development! Of course she's not going to reproduce! Good god!
As my mama said, until you've walked a mile in their moccassins, shut the heck up.
I hate it when Salon creates these pseudo-social-ethics issues out of nothing. Remember Terri Shiavo? I'm sure you all sided with the husband on that one; now you want to scold these parents for making the only decision that made sense.
grossed out,
