From another paper in my study group I am critiquing:
here is a link to a CNN story with a decent overview... basically, the child is left in an infant-like state from static encephalopathy, which cannot be cured or fixed... so, her parents had procedures done to close her growth plates, removed her uterus and breast buds for a few reasons...
the writer's argument is a pro argument, with a major premise that ethically, the costs outweigh the risks.

From the article i got the kid was going to be left in an infantile state based upon the removal of the uterus and buds not because of the unchanging brain condition. The reasons they gave for doing such were pretty pathetic:(
