Reader Patrick P alerts us to this terrific development in the story of Baby Joseph Maraachli:
"Baby Joseph," the dying Canadian infant whose medical care sparked a national controversy, arrived at a St. Louis hospital [last week] night for treatment ... Ontario's London Health Sciences Centre ... said it doesn't perform a tracheostomy for patients who have no hope of recovery."
Which is interesting in and of itself, but becomes even more disturbing with this news:
"Doctors report he is resting comfortably ... His parents will soon be able to take him home, which was their initial wish."
The bottom line remains that Baby Joseph will likely die soon regardless; it's a question of how, not if.
