I know it's a really old story but I just stumbled upon it and was interested in more opinions.

I really think it is very cruel to have her alive, from the day she starts going to school life would simply get more and more miserbale for her. She needed special medical treatment to keep her alive so it WOULDNT be murder to let her have peace.

What is your opinion?

I think your perspective would change drastically if it was actually your child. I mean i could say yes now.. but years down the line if i was to have a kid in the same situation i would probably be very against that idea.

They wouldnt have to "kill" the child cuz she woudnt survive without expensive and special medical treatment. Leave it to mother nature and she wouldnt have survived...

Euthanasia isn't exactly murder. It's for good reasons.

It doesn't say that...the treatment is to create a face....and I don't think anyone that could allow a child to suffer should procreate.:?

I wasn't speaking of this case specifically. It's not an option to decide to kill your child.

No, that is at least marginally better than dying. Plus she will make the other kids jealous: they aren't allowed to wear masks to school.

Well I read in the comments that when that child was born it would have died without special care...and I think it should be pretty obvious with how sensitive a new born is.

The child is alive NOW. She needs operations to rebuild a face. That does not mean you let her die.

That's tragic :( I don't think it would be worth the expense and suffering to keep her alive, but I'm far from a parent so I'll withhold my judgement.

From the looks of it the child will be well cared for by a family that loves her. Plastic surgery can be performed. Killing her would just be cruel.

I wouldn't want to, but i guess it would probably cause her extreme difficulty breathing and she'd be blind her whole life... that's pretty harsh.

The wonders of life that she would enjoy would be far less than the pain, agony and depression she would have to go through all her life.

I think it's being very selfish if you cant let her go just cuz she is your child, ultimately she IS the one who will live a life of misery...

We're not talking about a minor deformity here. We're talking about having no face.

What if the parents actually cared for their child despite it not having a face? Perhaps they get joy from their child, despite its problems.
