A touching video presentation set to music.

Baby Annie died in a world class Children's Hospital within 24 hours arrival at the age of 80 days. The events that transpired in those hours involved violations in health care Laws, hospital policies, professional codes of ethics and indeed there is a strong suspicion of criminal actions. The final medication report is missing and the narcotic cabinet reveals that over 30 times the amount of morphine ordered was removed from the cabinet, with none shown as wasted or returned.

The Coroner's Pediatric Death Review Committee determined that the care provided was not appropriate and that it was by no means certain that Annie needed stressful surgery or prolonged intubation. She was never on life support. A specific cause of death could not be determined so the Coroner determined that the death was due to "complications of trisomy 13".

Although the Chief of the Critical Care admitted that the actions of his staff were "unacceptable" and the hospital provided a written apology for  ineffective communication, effective and sincere plans for improvement could not be developed in collaboration with the hospital.

The United Nation's High Commissioner's Office became aware of the case and described many ratified conventions under which complaints could be made. Annie's family has made a complaint with Human Rights and appealed for a Coroner's Inquest with the support of many major disability groups.

All children, regardless of genetic disposition, deserve a chance if the family determines that it is in their best interest. Otherwise, they deserve a peaceful and dignified death. Annie was denied both.
