Dominic Lawson: Who are we to decide that a dependent life is a pointless life?

Other people's sympathies are with Frances Inglis. Mine are with her son. Three years ago this month, my wife's nephew sustained a dreadful brain injury by the banal process of falling downstairs. He was living with us at the time, on a trip from his adoptive country of Australia; so for the short period before his mother and father could make the long journey to be with him, we acted in loco parentis. We were told that the prognosis was grim.
