“Critically ill baby dies after being removed from life support in Texas/a” should horrify you. It should horrify you that it has happened at all. It should horrify you even more that it has happened here in the United States. Doctors can now, in Texas at least, override your wishes about your children’s health, and what medical treatment they receive. A doctor can decide that efforts to preserve your life are “useless” and let you die sooner and faster. How long until we start defining down “useless” efforts and “worthless” lives?/p
