quoting the lead of the article:

A severely disabled French boy has won a landmark case against medical >authorities for allowing him to be born rather than aborted.

The real tragedy here is that the boy has no hope; his life seems to have been
such that he considers death to be the real gift.  Who has really failed him?  I
wouldn't blame the doctors.  I wonder if he has been raised to believe that he
is a mistake, rather than a human being of inherent value?  Probably a mistake.
