Baby dies after hospital removes breathing tube
Case is the first in which a judge allowed a hospital to discontinue care

The baby wore a cute blue outfit with a teddy bear covering his bottom. The 17-pound, nearly 6-month-old boy wiggled with eyes open, his mother said, and smacked his lips.

Then at 2 p.m. Tuesday, a medical staffer at Texas Children's Hospital gently removed the breathing tube that had kept Sun Hudson alive since his birth Sept. 25. Cradled by his mother, he took a few breaths, and died.

The poor baby was born with lungs that would never support life. The mother, quite understandably didnt want to give up- she was the mother after all... but the undeniable fact was that the infant was doomed.

The poor child was allowed to die...something that would have happened soon anyway.

WHY was this not taken up as a cause by those here that are so devoted to saving a woman with no brain?

WHY? well, I think it is because they werent coached by their talk shows and politicians on what to think...

The poor infant probably could have become a regular person if the child didnt have this birth defect- but he did... The decision was made to let the inevitable happen sooner rather than later - do you disagree?

This baby could feel pain, he had a functioning infant brain... would you be willing to impose a rule that the child should suffer for as long as we could keep him alive?

This is a serious question....
