Baby Joseph Maraachli Heading Home After Getting Tracheotomy

Baby Joseph Maraachli is heading back home to Canada after his parents received help from an American pro-life group that assisted when a Canadian hospital refused to provide the baby a tracheotomy to help him breathe.
Joseph’s parents wanted him to have the medical procedure done in the same way their daughter had one before she passed away. Joseph now can breathe easier as he dies from a rare medical condition that will soon take his life.

Doctors at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center in St. Louis performed the tracheotomy on March 21 and, in a follow-up statement, deemed the procedure “medically appropriate” after a thorough examination of the 15-month-old boy who a Canadian hospital refused to help.

Today, officials with Priests for Life, the pro-life group that provided the financial and logistical support for bringing Joseph and his family to the United States, informed LifeNews.com Joseph is now headed home.

Its too bad that SOCIALIZED medicine in Canada, would not pay for a simple tracheotomy for this baby to go home and be with his parents until his natural death.

Institutionalized government-operated health care is inherently utilitarian in values.
It eliminates free will of the individual, and reduces every person to a healh care cost unit.

Just as Marxism defines man as merely a producer of labor, utilitarian socialist politics defines the person in terms of productive value vs. maintenance cost.

The unborn, the elderly, the disabled, or the chronically ill are no longer important in this evil enterprise and are passively liquidated.

This had nothing to do with money. It had to do with doctors not feeling that it was appropriate since there was no hope of recovery. The hospitals contacted in the US concurred. His ‘natural death’ would have occurred months ago if doctors hadn’t interfered.

Not the doctors at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital
