The parents' actions are contemptible. The so-called Ashley Treatment and love for their "Pillow Angel" is nothing short of creepy. They have sought an extreme medical solution for a problem that is entirely social. They have turned their back on the very humanity of their daughter, the person they love. The story is a perverse tragedy in every respect, a sort of modern day Frankenstein movie. This remains the most disturbing disability related story in recent years.
