    Unhappy Which should die??

     
    Remember those ethics class questions about which baby should die, or if you should kill it to have another baby live??

    REALITY ASKS: "What DO you do?:
    "I want my child to pass on because she can't survive, and to save that child," said the girl's father, Jason Wallace.

    The heart must stop beating for five minutes before she can be legally declared dead and the transplant can begin.

    But Kaylee only needs breathing support when she's asleep and to everyone's disappointment, she stayed awake during the one-hour window in the operating room and the surgery was called off, Wallace said.
    They say technology slows down for no one. I know it outruns my wallet. I figure its because my wallet isn't light enough yet.

    I wish someone had listened and acted upon the wishes of that father.


    The name "Knothead" on a post is your assurance of a quality post, carefully half-baked using only the finest ingredients!

    If one can't survive with a healthy heart the parents made the right decision to give it to a child that would survive with the same healthy heart.

    Kudo's go out to the parents wishing to donate the heart.

    What a gut wrenching reality to live with.
    When those who believe in any of the available gods understand why they deny all other gods, they should come to understand why atheists lack a belief in theirs.
