Problem: Three months ago, a 14-year-old girl was hit by a truck while riding her bike and suffered severe head trauma. She remains comatose and on a mechanical ventilator and is receiving tube feedings and hydration. She is unresponsive to sharp and intense pain, and the neurologist does not expect her to recover from her coma. She has developed pneumonia, and given her poor prognosis, the neurologist does not recommend treating the pneumonia but instead recommends discontinuing treatment. Her mother has accepted the child's pending death and would like to withdraw treatment. Her father believes the child's life is in God's hands and wants to continue treatment.
Question: Describe the "precious human life" argument against suicide and apply it to support continued treatment in this case.
