I am not sure if that would be a case of euthanasia, I guess euthanasia by omission. You may wish to read about The Texas Futile Care Law, it is obviously not relevant to UK but a could example of where things may be going in the future. If parents and doctors disagree the case goes to court, which need to decide in the best interests of the child taking expert advice in account.

It is best for parents if they can make the decision but it can be argued whether they realy want the best for the child or just prolong suffering from selfish fear of separation (I am trying to be objective, I know it is a tragedy for the family and matter that need to be dealt with great delicacy). Finaly there is an economic aspect, it costs loads to keep this child alive. Maybe the money would be better spend on other things such as research into the cure or treating children that actualy can be helped. Is it justified way of spending NHS money?
