Charged with abuse, Alberta parents cite Muslim faith in fight to keep girl on life support
CALGARY — The toddler who can be identified only as Baby M is not quite clinically brain dead, but close to it. Lying in a virtual vegetative state in an Edmonton hospital, doctors can see tiny eye movements. They’ve recorded a few functioning reflexes.
But for all intents and purposes, the 27-month-old is gone. She can neither breathe, nor feed herself. She has no pupil responses, no personality, no awareness. Her doctors say she is paralyzed and has virtually no hope of recovery: What little time is left to her will be marked by more bouts of pneumonia and blood infection, made all the worse by the possibility of some still-intact animal instinct for suffering. She’d have to have an invasive tracheotomy — an incision into the throat — to help her breathe.
Her doctors have advised all artificial life support be withdrawn.
The interesting thing is that you would think that the law around who has legal authority in this kind of case would be settled, but in fact it’s not
Normally, this would be the most difficult decision her parents would ever have to face: What makes Baby M’s story so unusual is that her parents are the ones accused of putting her in the hospital in the first place.
Citing love and religious convictions, the toddler’s 34-year-old Muslim parents are asking to keep their child alive against doctors’ recommendations.
Court of Queen’s Bench Justice June Ross is expected to offer her ruling on Friday.
Currently sitting in the Edmonton Remand Centre, the couple, who cannot be named, have been charged with aggravated assault, negligence causing bodily harm and failing to provide the necessities of life.
Forbidden from talking to each other even about their own child’s care, the pair is caught in a legal quagmire: They technically retain the right to make decisions about Baby M’s fate, even if the child’s life or death will determine their own charges.

The parents’ other two children — Baby M’s twin sister, who was also found badly malnourished, and a boy, who was not — have been taken into protective custody. But Baby M remains in her parents’ care and the government has called on the courts to decide whether or not to let her die.
(Bold sentence mine)
Put them on trial for murder, convict them and then execute them.
Are they even Canadian citizens? Why can’t they be deported back to the hell hole they came from. Take their precious boy with them, because he will be given back eventually, as that is the way things go in the social services, even parents who kill their kids get their other kids back
