Explanation / Answer
Ans 1: Under 1984, Child abuse amendments to the Baby Doe rules “The parents can refuse/deny treatment for chronically and irreversibly comatose babies”.
Explanation: Baby Doe was an infant girl, born at Stony Brook University hospital with down syndrome and spina bifida. The parents denied for corrective surgical procedures with the consent of doctor because it could not improve the quality of life (not improving many disabilities conditions) even after successful surgical procedure. Rather, the parents provide the infant with palliative care consisting of antibiotics and dressing of the exposed spinal sac.
The Baby Doe Rules was the first initiative taken by the US government to directly intervene in treatment options for new born with severe congenital defects. The rules mandate that, the impaired infant must be provided with maximal care by the hospitals and physicians, if select exceptions not met. The physician or parents of the newborn are liable for medical neglect in case if they choose to withhold full treatment when they are not met with the exceptions. President Ronald Reagan able to signed the law on 9 October 1984 as an amendment to the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) of 1974 after a prolonged legal battle. Since then, both the parents’ have right to make medical decisions for their chronically and irreversibly comatose child and the laws can affect treatment options in the US.
