Ending life Child Joseph Maraachli has been shifted to the US hospital


After an Ontario court ruling that doctors could eliminate an inhalation tube caring him alive, the parents of fatally ill Canadian have been admitted to a US catholic hospital.
The Canadian doctors say, Joseph Maraachli, aged one, is in a vegetative state with a dangerous neurological condition and will not get better.
A refusal has been made by the Ontario hospital to his parent’s request that tracheotomy will only extend life by six months and they should allow him to die at home. A family lawyer said, the Catholic hospital of US is reviewing his case.
Joseph had been admitted in London Health Sciences Centre since October where the doctors advise that he will die as soon as he separated from the ventilator. The Ontario hospital had decided to shift him to the family home before doing so.
But the child’s parents said the elimination of the ventilator would create suffocated and painfully death and thy insisted to the doctors for applying tracheotomy that they said would let him to death more relaxed and gradually. The doctors said medically the process is not essential so will not treat the boy’s condition and turned down to apply it.
Then the Joseph has been shifted into the Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St Louis in the US state of Missouri on Sunday through a private jet which was sponsored by Priests for Life, a US anti-abortion group.
The group’s head said in a statement that he will “win the fight against medical administration of Canada”.
Moe Maraachli and Sana Nader, Joseph's parents had challenged a Canadian court's ruling to let doctors for the elimination the boy's inhalation tube.
