Baby Israel Moved, Will Get Another Chance to Live

5/23/2016

 
Sacramento, CA--A toddler who has been fighting for life in a Northern California hospital took another step toward recovery over the weekend by being transferred to a facility that will administer treatment and agrees with his parents that he continues to show signs of life. 
 
Attorneys with Pacific Justice Institute and Life Legal Defense Foundation have jointly represented Israel’s family as they have fended off several attempts to disconnect him from life support at a Kaiser Permanente hospital in Roseville, California.  On Friday, Israel won another reprieve from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which requested additional briefing.  On Saturday, Israel was able to be transported to an undisclosed hospital that intends to feed and treat him.

PJI Attorneys File Emergency Motion in the Ninth Circuit to Save Baby Israel

5/17/2016

 
San Francisco, CA--Pacific Justice Institute filed an emergency motion shortly before noon today to give two-year-old Israel Stinson a chance to live. After Israel was declared brain dead on April 14, the Stinson family has been fighting for the right to keep their child on life support as he continues to show signs of life and movement in response to his mother’s touch and voice.

PJI has taken up the mission to prevent Kaiser hospital from terminating Israel’s life. PJI attorneys are now arguing in San Francisco's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that “serious questions” about Israel’s condition and his legal rights require that his ventilator not be disconnected while the legal battle continues. Late Friday, U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller denied his mother’s request for a preliminary injunction but kept the temporary restraining order in place until May 20 to allow the appeal and emergency motion to be filed.  ​

Judge Allows Toddler With Signs of Life to Stay on Life Support

5/3/2016

 
​Sacramento, CA--A Federal Judge ruled Monday, to allow two-year old Israel Stinson to stay on life support after doctors declared him brain dead. Stinson appeared to have an asthma attack in early April, and was admitted to the hospital. He lost consciousness multiple times and was ultimately put on a ventilator.

In the time after medical professionals declared Stinson brain dead, he reacted multiple times with movement to his mother's voice and touch. Independent physicians brought in by the parents do not believe this is consistent with brain death. Despite this conflicting evidence and the mother's desires to keep him alive, the hospital planned to take Stinson off of life support.
