Mass. Girl Beaten Into a Coma Responds to Stimuli a Day After Court Ruled Life Support Could Be Withdrawn By ADAM GORLICK The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Doctors say new tests are needed on a severely beaten 11-year-old girl, who officials said was responding to medical stimuli and breathing on her own a day after Massachusetts' highest court ruled the state had the authority to remove her from life support. Denise Monteiro, a spokeswoman for the state's Department of Social Services, which has custody of Haleigh Poutre, said doctors will perform more tests "to see what the movements mean." She would not say how Haleigh was responding or to what tests. The girl has been in a coma for four months and thought to be in an irreversible vegetative state. "There's a possible change in her condition," Monteiro said Wednesday. "She's having some responses." Haleigh's stepfather, Jason Strickland, is charged with beating the girl and could face a murder charge if she dies. He has fought to keep her on life support but lost his appeal Tuesday in the Supreme Judicial Court, Massachusetts' highest court. The court ruled that the social services department had the authority to remove the ventilator and feeding tube after doctors said the girl was in an irreversible vegetative state. On Wednesday afternoon, however, doctors told the social services agency that Haleigh's condition had changed, Monteiro told the Boston Globe in its Thursday editions.

If I was up on murder charges if she died, I'd fight to keep her on life support forever!

This 11-year-old was in the coma for four months while Schiavo lived for 15 years. A bit of a difference, but it does go to show that the government does not always know what is best in a given situation.
