I don't have a problem with folks saying "she's not missing anything", I do disagree respectfully. I'm not going to say anything about the parents, because truthfully, I don't think it would've mattered what to do with the girl. That's where I stand.

She can't do anything, though. She can't even hold her head up. I agree that it's their decision to make though, and none of us know what it's like to care for her on a daily basis. I think it's sad that she won't be able to live a full life, but she wouldn't be able to no matter what they did... which really just makes it more sad.

EDIT: Okay, after re-reading the website, I guess she can move. But only her arms and legs. So it's still sad.
