There's no right or wrong answer.

If I was in the position of the consultant, I'd explain as best as I could to the parents that I did not think that it was in the best interest of the child to use artificial interventions to preserve its life.

If this was unacceptable to the parents I would have to refer them to another consultant, explaining that I respect their decision but feel unable to provide the care that they desire.
