Fair enough

It's a tricky situation though. I really have an aversion to 'trial by media' for a reason. That's why in cases like Jackson's, I'd rather legal and medical experts determine whether the doctor was wrong or right. On the other hand if they determine he was wrong, that won't bring Jackson back. Oops, too bad. Likewise, if here it turns out that the parents and doctors are wrong, that kid's gonna be pretty messed up. But perhaps at the end of the day, it's their prerogative to decide, and their responsibility to own up to consequences.

But ultimately I'd rather that media and popular thought keep a healthy distance from such decisions.
