... spent thousands on court costs, cryogenic costs & other nonsense when that money could perhaps help save other children dying of cancer.
-
and you are saying the family must then live with the knowledge they betrayed their childs wishes for the rest of their lives
-
don't think any decent parent could live with themselves knowing they double crossed their own dying child
-

No more heartbreaking than any of the other thousands of child deaths. The rest is just a dull argument about funding.

you would think. Especially if (like me) you had some expertise in cryogenic freezing, and a liquid nitrogen tank in the basement.
