9. I hate like hell to pile on, but...

No, I really do--I feel genuine sorrow and pity for both parents in this case.

That said, let's not forget that the parents attempted to care for her on their own, in their home, for a short period of time. They found that they could not, and I'm sure that their inability to cope with their daughter's needs feeds into their guilt.

Again, I say this not to revel in their agony now, just to explain why they may be as ferocious as they are about maintaining her body today even though her mind is surely gone.
