Question

Should brain dead babies be kept alive through mechanical means if that's what the family wants?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

No I don't think its fair to the baby. The parents should accept that there child is brain dead and let it go because keeping the baby alive through mechanical means is kind of like giving them false hope.

Answer 3

In my honest opinion....no. I am so glad I was never faced with this decision with any of my 3 children and I can't say that if it did I would be willing to let them go very easily. But I think after realizing what is going on and understanding my baby has no chance of "living" life at all...I would most certainly remove the baby from any machines because that is no life at all. I'd be so very upset but would send my child home to rest eternally.

Answer 4

NO, h**l no. they should just let the baby die.
