#6 Interview: "Simon's Law" and parental rights

Bioethics Report

A brief interview with Sheryl Crosier and Kayre Perez at the National Right to Life Convention in Kansas City on "Simon's Law" and parental rights. “Simon’s Law” is named for a medically fragile baby born with Trisomy 18 and apnea (breathing difficulty), who died when resuscitation was denied. His devastated parents, Sheryl and Scott Crosier, only learned later that Simon’s hospital chart contained a DNR [Do Not Resuscitate] that was never discussed, much less permitted by them. They have mounted a grassroots crusade to alert parents and enact this law to protect parents’ rights. https://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2017/02/simons-law-protects-parental-rights-especially-for-medically-fragile-kids/
