Canadian Court: Remove Baby's Life Support Despite Parents' Wishes

Canadian Court: Remove Baby's Life Support Despite Parents' Wishes | LifeNews.com: A Superior Court judge in London, Ontario has dismissed the request of a Canadian couple to overturn a decision requiring the removal of their baby’s feeding tube in a hospital instead of at home.

Joseph Maraachli, a one-year-old boy from Windsor, Ontario, has been at Victoria Hospital in London since October with a rare deteriorating condition that is not improving. The doctors who have cared for him want to remove his breathing tube but Moe Maraachli and Sana Nader took their battle to court to allow the tube to be removed at home, so the boy can die surrounded by his family.
