i'm glad I'm not the only one who finds this.. disturbing. This child was for all intensive purposes dead. Through millions of dollars in surgeries and operations and physiotheraphy, she has won the battle for her life. Is it right for this child to recieve so much care when the same amount of money in africa could save the lives of tens or even hundreds of thousands of children?
And even though she lives, what is the quality of that life? Her entire life she will be undergoing painful physical therapy and because of her appearance she will not be accepted as a normal member of society. Reduced mobility and horribly disfigured appearance will more likely than not force her into a "special" class in school, where she will recieve a lower level education. Even if she completes a normal high school diploma she'll have trouble finding a solid job, and difficulty finding a Significant other. Her life is going to be hell.
Why her parents kept her on life support and decided to drag her through so much pain I fail to understand. Perhaps you lose perspective when it is your own child.
