Wow, that's messed up. I honestly can't believe any doctor would do this, it seems morally wrong.

This is a quote from their website:

"Now nine years old, Ashley cannot keep her head up, roll or change her sleeping position, hold a toy, or sit up by herself, let alone walk or talk. She is tube fed and depends on her caregivers in every way. We call her our “Pillow Angel” since she is so sweet and stays right where we place her—usually on a pillow."

Honestly, if I had a child in this condition, I don't know what I'd do. It would be very hard because obviously you love your child no matter what... but how can you care for her/him, and continue on with life? It seems like taking care of him/her would be a full-time job itself.
