I thought that this was a really interesting article because it really brings up some issues. It was explained here that the doctors at the IWK want to take this woman’s baby off of life support and she doesn’t want it to happen. It made me think about life support and at what point should the plug be pulled on life support for certain people.
The fact that the doctors say that Bryson (the baby) has significant brain damage and won’t recover also brought up some questions. The mother of the baby stated that Bryson has been responding to sound and touch. Does this mean that eventually the baby could recover? To what extent though? Would the baby have a fulfilling life in this state? Is there a point where recovery options shouldn’t be looked at because of this concept of life fulfillment?
