Discontinuing Life Support of Terminally Ill Baby

Christine Hurt of Marquette forwarded to me this Houston Chronicle article involving a mother's appeal of a ruling by Houston judge to allow a hospital to discontinue life support on a seriously ill infant.  The hospital believes that continuing treatment is inhumane, a position that mother (whose mental competence is unclear from the article) disputes.  This is apparently the first ruling allowing a hospital to discontinue life support on a living infant.
