In reply to the discussion: Jahi McMath's mom clear to take her from hospital [View all]ninjanurse
(93 posts)I think this grieving mother has been badly served by everyone, but especially her lawyer. The facility that says they can take Jahi does not seem to have the means to follow through. I think the lawyer, New Beginnings and the Schiavo family were not prepared to have to take this dead child on a respirator-- it will be interesting to see what they say now. Did they ever think they would have to deliver on their promises?
It makes sense to release the body to the family to do as they see fit. It will not give them what they want, Jahi back alive. It will only end in sadness.
The mother had a right to get a second opinion that her daughter was really dead. That should have been offered by the hospital right away, and her questions answered and her loss handled with more sensitivity. That might have avoided this awful prolonged denial of what can't be changed.
