Abstract
In providing commentary to the case presented by DJC Wilkinson and T Pillay, we describe the uncertainties around complex decision making for the critically ill surrogate baby. We share our dilemma in recognizing that we, not the intended parents hold parental authority for Baby T. Despite this, we argue our case for compassionately including the intended parents in discussions and considering their perspectives in the complex decision making processes for Baby T.Citation
