What people who bash the parents need to remember is that this girl has the mental capacity of a three-month-old baby. She doesn't have a terminal illness, she's just basically a vegetable. She can't roll over or sit up, much less walk, talk, or resent the fact that she's not growing. The trials she would have to endure during/after puberty would be something she wouldn't understand and couldn't have explained to her. She's not missing anything. She'll never be able to have kids anyway, and her family will have to take care of her for the rest of her life, so they have to be able to carry her around.
It makes sense to me. Yeah, it's a little weird and unnatural, but I don't think we should feel sorry for someone who lacks the capacity to even know there's something they need to be sorry about.
