How little grasp the media have and the silliness they are willing to impart on this tragic tale was in evidence on our local news this morning. They had a couple with a child with CP who has a feeding tube. The girl IS responsive and typical of those on the lower scale of CP function. Not a lot there but certainly functional on many levels. The parents and the news folk showed the tube and then said how they could never make such a decision blah, blah, blah.

I can't believe the parents would even consider comparing the situations, but indeed they did and the news folks ate it up!
