Suppose it’s hard to judge, unless you’re in that situation!
In a way, I agree with Melody, an individual shouldn’t be allowed to play God! But then, on the other hand, she did play God, by bringing him into the World! Not exactly the same, but you can see my point!
Thing is, if he was severely Brain – Damaged, then the Doctors would have decided soon enough, what this boys fate was to be!
I know of a family, who’s son was involved in a tragic incident, which left him Brain-Damaged, and they were told that his Life-Support would have to be switched off. They said that as they were conversing about this, his eyes were filling up, so he obviously must have understood what was going to happen, despite his state/condition.
Personally, I couldn’t do it – But, I’m not in that situation, who knows how I would feel/react if I were to be faced with a decision like that!!
