I doubt that the state would take the quality of life issue into consideration. They are probably locked in a damned if you do damned if you don't position. Nearly all states have laws that allow the state to force parents to get medical help for children. I am in no way supporting the state in this particular incident but there are reasons for such laws. Quite often a child is allowed to die from something that should never have been life threatening had the child received medical attention. Usually someones fucked up idea of religion is the basis for their decision. No one ever accused those who interpret laws of having any common sense. Common sense would eliminate 98% of the idiocracy like this that goes on in our country.
