Rebecca Clarren writes, "Already at least three other families have approached doctors at the Seattle hospital, asking them to create their own Pillow Angels..."
No.
Ashley became a "pillow angel" when her brain stopped developing. She was a "pillow angel" before the surgery and remained one afterwards. Her parents coined the term to describe her life with a brain that did not grow, not her life with or without a uterus and breasts.
This sentence seems to me evidence of deep bias against the parents.
