Case Update -- Jada Ruiz-Jones

The case of 9-month-old Jada Ruiz-Jones continues in an Akron, Ohio court.  Jada's mother wants to heed physician recommendations to discontinue life support.  The father does not.  

On Tuesday, three physicians from Akron Children's Hospital testified that Jada should be allowed to die naturally.  John Pope, the director of the PICU testified that if Jada remains on life support, she will need surgery to place rubes for breathing and feeding.  But Pope (no relation) doubts that there is any doctor who would even perform such surgery given Jada's condition.  (Akron Beacon-Journal)
