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 the testing should not occur until she has had more time to recover and are seeking a transfer to another facility for alternative treatments. Texas law allows hospitals to withdraw life support once brain death is declared, but the Camp family believes this testing contradicts their religious beliefs. The case has attracted attention from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life, potentially influencing future legislation on brain death and life support rights.
