More on Hamad Elijah Sanda
Following up on an Oct. 8 entry titled, “Judge: Take infant off life support,” Judge Marilyn Moores talked with WISH-TV of Indianapolis about the decision.
“This was maybe the hardest thing that I have ever done and I know how hard it has been for the other individuals in that courtroom. The doctor had tears in his eyes. The attorney for the Department of Child Services had tears in her eyes. No one takes this lightly.”
Meanwhile the Indianapolis Star carries two pieces on the subject. The first is headlined, “Infant off ventilator breathing on his own” and the second, an editorial, is titled “No need to rush life-death decision.” Indiana’s medical consent law can be found at Ind. Code 16-36-1-5.
