Video of baby Joseph Maraachli being "vegetative"

This is the baby that hospital doctors claim is in a completely unresponsive vegetative state; they want to remove his breathing tube, effectively killing him.

Are the doctors blind, half-witted, looking at the wrong baby or are they penny-pinching to the point of infanticide?

LONDON, Ontario, February 24, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Dying one-year-old Joseph Maraachli’s family says two new videos of him flailing and reacting to tickling belie his hospital’s claim that he is in a permanent vegetative state.

The video of Joseph being tickled, which was shot Sunday evening only hours before the hospital had planned to remove his life support, also shows Joseph’s hands tied down – a measure the hospital took after Joseph removed the tube from his throat on at least two separate occasions.

“How can a baby be in a vegetative state who has his hands tied – as we speak – for him to not pull out his tube?” asked Joseph’s aunt, Samar Nader.  “How does a baby in a vegetative state respond to combing or tickling?”

“What really boggles my mind is how we’re not allowed to videotape him or have media outlets watching him to show the public what he’s like,” she added.  “That’s very frustrating.”
