Technically, this 2-year-old is dead, killed by her stepfather shaking her. But she's being kept on life support. Why? Because her mom wants to donate her organs but her dad doesn't, calling it a desecration. It's a complicated story with charges and countercharges flying between mom and dad, with mom accusing dad of being absent and "running with a bad crowd" until she got married to the other guy, and dad saying mom failed to protect the child, but the central argument is over who gets to choose what's done with the child's body, and, well, who DOES get to make the call if there's a dispute over who has full custody?
