Who decides life or death for this baby?

I have just been made aware of a family in need.  In July, this couple's baby was born at 23 weeks gestation.  Baby Emmie Rose has been fighting for her life since and her parent's have been fighting the hospitals since!  For what!?  Here is a glimpse of one of their posts and then you can read the whole story at their blog .

PLEASE take the time to hit your knees in prayer for this family and baby Emmie Rose!

As you read on, please also take to heart something Stephanie says herself.... "To those out there who think that You know what is Best for Our Child, please think again. One day this could happen to Your Loved One and You will then what to make decisions for them. Think about it, What if someone just up and took your rights away from You to voice how You want them taken care of?? How would you feel? What would you do? All We want is the Care, Respect and Dignity that Emmie-Rose deserves."

Sep 14 - Media Help Please!

Since when is murdering a child legal in the state of Michigan?

When I stop and think, this is the most bizzar situation that anyone can be put in. I am having to spend hours each day to keep a baby that is fighting for her life alive.

Isn't that the hospitals job?

We need media exposure at this point!
Our legal team has contacted the hospital and its been cleared to talk with the media.

What is happening is that every hospital that we are contacting is being scared off because of the Pediatric Ethics Committee meeting finding:

ETHICS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Since physicians have determined that the patients condition is terminal and incurable, further medical interventions other than comfort measures are futile and transfer to another facility does not serve the best interest of this child. Furthermore, since continued medical interventions offer no reasonable medical benefit to the patient and such interventions serve only to postpone the moment of death, the treatment team is under no moral obligation to continue life-sustaining treatment. The parent's right to seek a second opinion has been met. Since it has been determined that no additional interventions can be offered to this child, there is no benefit in transferring her to another facility.


No it has not been met! We can't get an unbiased assessment of our child because of the committee meeting!

When she had her surgery on 9/3/06 the doctors said she would be with the lord in two days. We accepted that.

She is still here! She is still hanging on for her life.
I cannot accept the fact the hospital can not open their eyes and help a child that is still alive and fighting every da

Thank you for sharing the story of Emmie-Rose with us.

I have so many thoughts spinning through my head after reading through her blog. Not only do I have a passion for protecting the lives of all, esp those who cannot speak for themselves, but I also have been reading Pro-life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments by Randy Alcorn (which I recommend to anyone wanting the facts in a easy to follow format) and have just completed a small Group Study titled Tactics in Defending the Faith with Greg Koukl from Stand to Reason MInistries (http://www.str.org/site/PageServer) which helped me to think through these very kinds of issues more logically (and therefore Biblically).

Here is a child who deserves whatever medical treatment which can be provided to her to keep her living as long as her body wants to go on living and we have people telling her that she must die now because she's going to die eventually and they say now is better than later. A dangerous slippery slope. Peter Singer of Priceton would say that the Dr's have an obligation to kill the child.

It is sickening how wicked man really is. I thank God each day for my salvation and that we (at least for now) live a mostly civilized society. I will be praying fervently for Emmie-Rose and her family.

~Ephesians 6:4~

"Let no Christian parents fall into the delusion that Sunday School is intended to ease them of their personal duties. The first and most natural condition of things is for Christian parents to train up their own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." Charles H. Spurgeon

The Best Textbook

"If you love your children, let the simple Bible be everything in the training of their souls, and let all other books go down and take the second place." J.C.Ryle
