"Probate Judge Guy Herman set a hearing for April 19 for both sides to present evidence in the case of 17-month-old Emilio Gonzales.
Children's Hospital of Austin has been caring for Emilio since December and says the effort is futile and the child is suffering without medical benefit. It invoked a state law that allows hospitals to end life-sustaining treatment in such cases with 10 days notice to the family."

The key word is suffering. The parents don't think their baby is suffering. I hope they're right!
Should the state be able to pull the plug on this kid without the family's consent? I say no that's a real dangerous policy.
