And this is one of them. Michelle Malkin has a post about two-year-old brain-damaged Charlotte Wyatt, who has been perhaps sentenced to die—against the wishes of her own parents.

The parents of Charlotte Wyatt have been told that doctors are to be allowed to let their profoundly ill baby daughter die if they feel it is in her best interests. A High Court judge yesterday lifted a previous ruling that she should always be resuscitated, on the grounds that the two-year-old was now on a “downward rather than an upward trend”.

Mr Justice Hedley heard an emergency application from doctors treating her that she had developed an aggressive chest infection and was unlikely to survive any moves to keep her alive.

“Medical evidence speaks with one voice, that ventilation simply will not achieve the end for which no doubt the parents would wish,” he said. Charlotte’s condition was said to be “deteriorating” last night. Her mother, Debbie, 24, from Portsmouth, still believes that if her daughter were ventilated she would recover.

But Mr Justice Hedley said there had been a “very significant deterioration in Charlotte’s condition”. It is the fifth time he has had to make a ruling about Charlotte’s treatment.

Doctors at St Mary’s Hospital, Portsmouth, had previously argued that her life was so intolerable that if her condition worsened they should be allowed to withhold treatment. Charlotte suffers from severe lung, brain and kidney damage. But her condition improved so much that last October the judge removed a ruling allowing doctors to let her die.

Her parents have started a blog which you can check out here.

StopTheACLU wants to know, “Is this the direction America is headed? Is this where the ACLU, and the “right to die” folks will take us?”

So what’s going on? Well, since the hospital treating Charlotte were betting on her contracting a life-threatening infection last winter, and since their original dns order was granted on the assumption that she was ‘almost certainly’ going to succumb over a year ago, it really does look as though the hospital, and Judge Hedley’s, positions haven’t changed all that much. Indeed, on the strength of this, latest, ruling, it seems Hedley didn’t so much lift the dns order last October as postpone it until such a time as Charlotte actually needed resuscitating.

What’s being practiced here, then, is a kind anti-medicine, where, bizarrely, doctors dash into court at the first sign of their patient’s ill-health and demand the right to withhold life-saving treatment. You’d be hard-pushed to conceive of a situation that more aptly demonstrated the utter moral sickness at the heart of the anti-life movement.

Right Wing Nuthouse has some excellent thoughts, as does Conservative Culture, who writes:

Strange isn’t it. Doctors walk out of an execution of a convicted rapist and murder. Then there is a doctor ready to kill an infant still in the womb. But no problem, just spout “Women’s Choice.”

Truly a disturbing story. Unfortunately, this type of thing appears to be happening more and more often.
