Couple shares pain of choosing life support end for infant
Milwaukee area couple Jesse and Karen Parenteau recount the agony of disconnecting life support for their 116 day old daughter Jessica born premature after suffering meningitis and pneumonia. They empathize with Rudy Linares of Cicero who, at gunpoint, ended his comatose 16 month old Samuel's life after a balloon incident led to a persistent coma. Linares faces first degree murder charges for the hospital confrontation and withdrawal of his son's respirator, while Parenteaus describe the hard decision to stop fighting for a possible recovery.
