Is it possible that the child will grow and have a worthwhile life? and a worthwhile life to me is to be loved. If the child knows love and feels loved, then to me, they are living.

...would certainly be prosecuted. Can we condone the same behavior if it's done in a hospital and 5 doctors say it's ok?
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

So Patriarch, when does it become abuse?
I think condemning anyone against their will to a life of pain is abuse.

You can say the child was condmened to a painful life by God, or blind chance, or whatever you like, but you can't say it originated with the mother.

You also specified that it is abuse if a person is condemned to pain "against their will." I doubt that you meant that many people choose pain for it's own sake. Instead, I infer that you mean me to finish the thought to read something like " I think condemning anyone against their will to a life of pain is abuse, instead they should be denied medical care and allowed to die."

Some, like myself, think the decision should be made by the parents of the child. Others, perhaps followin Sethis' reasoning, think that doctors should be given this power.
I am not ready to condemn this mother whether she keeps the child alive, or whether she pulls the plug. I am also not fully convinced that going to school and having a medical liscense makes you more likely to make the right decision than the child's mother.

Some mothers make the wrong choice- especially if they're in the position of being so emotionally bound that reason becomes impossible.
The examples Mike is talking about are not just about a child in pain- they are extreme examples of a pointless life devoid of any kind of happiness- extreme physical and mental disfunction.
A mother choosing that for her child is almost certainly not being realistic or facing up to the true consequences of her actions.
