Two things come to mind here. Firstly, both of my kids had a visit to the NICU thankfully for nothing serious. The wife and I got to know a few nurses fairly well, and one night I asked a nurse what she owuld do if there was a fire or catastophy.She got real serious, looked me staright in the eye and said that if they couldn't get all the kids out, she at least would stay with them.. and if it got really really bad, she would call her husband if possible to say goodbye. We all got a little misty eyed over that.
Secondly and quite a bit less personally, I wonder if either side of the euthanasia debate will use this as a precedent or springboard for their cause.
