On Wednesday, a judge postponed a court hearing until May 8 on the fate of Emilio Gonzales, a 17-month-old child currently on life support at Children’s Hospital of Austin. In the meantime, the ethical and moral questions over the life of Emilio Gonzales continue to take center stage. Now, the Catholic Diocese of Austin has taken a stand.
...Bishop Aymond said while his heart goes out to Emilio’s mother and the difficult decision she’s faced with, he says he believes the Pediatric Ethics Committee at Children’s Hospital has made the right decision to remove Emilio from life support.
Wow. I don't know all of what's going on here but....wow.
Read the story for yourself. I hope there is a follow-up story with more details. I'd like to know what Fr Pavone's thoughts are on this one.
