Baby Joseph: Guidance Misguided?

Attempted rescue of Baby Joseph Maraachli, pro-life poster child, is deeply misguided

If Priests for Life were really serious about saving lives, instead of "rescuing" Joseph so he can live another few months lying in bed, unable to experience the normal joys of childhood, let alone become an adult, they could have used the money they have raised to save 150 lives - most of them children who would have gone on to live healthy, happy lives for 50 years or more.

The Canadian doctors wanted dignity for the child and chose quality of life over quantity. They were supported by their peers. They did no harm.
An American "faith-based" hospital chose a tracheotomy and long-term ventilation, despite the "grim" prognosis. Oh, and the American hospital was paid to do so by a radical 3rd party, the pro-life Christian group Priests for life. Possible conflict of interest?
Who would you want to treat your child...?
