CORRECTED Parents Fight to Keep Dead Son on Life Support

KSL, the NBC affiliate from Salt Lake City reports yesterday on a confrontation in a children's hospital between parents and doctors over whether or not a 6 yr old boy is dead. The parents maintain that he is alive and that there is hope for him to continue on a trajectory that KSL describes as "filled with miracles." The photos in the story are remarkable. Doctors declared "very" pronouced death meaning that there is internal decomposition; an injunction has been filed to stop action by the physicians. The story has not been mentioned in any of the listservs. CORRECTION - Armand Antommaria of Utah corrected us on our assumption that KSL is in St. Louis. Oops.
