A Houston drowning tests whether Texas law gives the right to deny brain death testing
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The parents of a 2-year-old girl, Annelise Camp, who nearly drowned on Memorial Day, are suing Texas Children’s Hospital to prevent brain death testing. They argue that Annelise should be given more time to recover and request a transfer to another hospital for alternative treatments. Texas law allows hospitals to withdraw life support after a brain death diagnosis, but the Camps oppose this, citing their religious beliefs. The case has attracted attention from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life, which supports the family's fight. This legal battle may influence future legislation regarding brain death testing in Texas.
