What do you think of the decision by parents to halt treatment of their premature baby?

A pregnant woman, surnamed Du, from Anhui Province, was rushed to Fengxian District Central Hospital due to severe bleeding on May 19. Doctors performed an emergency cesarean. The baby, eight weeks' premature, survived but was in critical condition with numerous health problems. After being told the baby's prospects were not good, the mother had a discussion with her family and decided to halt treatment. Doctors stopped treatment at 2 pm and the baby died before 4 pm. What do Internet users think?

I can understand the mother's decision. Even if the baby survived, she could suffer from many kinds of illness all her life.

70.17% (27,744)

The mother should at least give the baby a chance before giving up.

18.93% (7,483)

They were too cruel to the girl.
