More details;
Some years ago, a couple from Indiana gave birth to a baby with Downs syndrome. Among other complications, the infant, known as Baby Doe, had his stomach disconnected from his throat and was unable to take food or water as normal infants do. Although the stomach deformity was correctable through surgery, the baby’s quality of life would have been poor in any event. Caring for a Downs syndrome infant would have also placed a great emotional and financial burden on the parents.
The parents chose to deny surgery for the infant. After a contentious public debate, the Indiana Supreme Court supported their decision, and Baby Doe died at six days old. Should corrective surgery have been performed for Baby Doe? The government thought so and, to prevent something like this from happening again, they enacted the “Baby Doe” law to keep hospitals from withholding of medical treatment from disabled infants with life-threatening conditions.
