On October 24, 2009, a little boy was born in Stollery Children's Hospital, in Edmonton, Canada. http://www.capitalhealth.ca/HospitalsandHealthFacilities/Hospitals/StolleryChildrensHospital/default.htm Isaiah James May was born oxygen-deprived, due to the umbilical cord being wrapped around his neck, and he suffered brain damage as a result. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/100119/science/canada_edmonton_edmonton_child_court_rules_ventilator_not_removed There is now a legal battle that pits his parents, Isaac and Rebecka May, against the hospital's doctors, who want to remove a ventilator from Isaiah because, they claim, the baby is suffering from "irreversible brain damage." The next court date is set for two days from now, January 27.
