HOUSTON – The family of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl hospitalized after a Memorial Day drowning incident is asking a court for more time as doctors prepare to conduct brain death testing later this week.
The case has drawn attention not only because of the child’s condition, but also because it raises difficult questions about medical ethics, end-of-life decision-making and the role courts can play when families and medical providers disagree.
Annelise Camp has been receiving treatment at Texas Children’s Hospital since the incident. Her parents say they remain hopeful and are working to transfer her to another facility while pursuing legal action to keep treatment options available.
