          actually there's no chance of that. Maybe years from now yes, but those years will be filled with pain. Alot of pain.

          The treatment proposed in USA has never been used on a human, is very invasive & painful, hasn't the tot got a right to die in peace?

          This is spot on-I understand the (heartbreaking) reasons for ending his life but why don't they apply to an adult in the same circumstances?

          If the brain cells are degenerating and there are no meds/vaccine to repair. $100m wouldnt do any good. The parents just learn to let go.
