The Texas Children's case
This HealthProfBlog post provides an insightful analysis of the legal issues raised by the decision of Texas Children's Hospital earlier in the week to take Sun Hudson, the nearly 6-month-old who had been diagnosed and slowly dying from a rare form of dwarfism (thanatophoric dysplasia), off the ventilator that was keeping him alive. A Houston state district court had authorized the hospital's action, and Sun died shortly after being removed from life support.
