Activist, Nancy Delguidice speaks about the Pelletier travesty in her article as follows:
"Justina Pelletier, a fifteen-year-old girl from West Hartford, Connecticut, has captured the heart of the American public. Whether or not Justina Pelletier survives her ordeal is yet to be determined. Thousands of people nationwide are praying. What is certain at this point is that Justina is truly America’s Sweetheart. She will never be forgotten, and life holds so much for her future.
Justina Pelletier was an extraordinary girl, even before her kidnapping at Boston Children’s Hospital on Valentine’s Day, 2013. She had suffered a stroke at the age of six, and nearly died of gastro-intestinal problems before finally receiving a diagnosis of mitochondrial disease at Tufts University Medical Center in Boston.
Under the care of Tufts’ Dr. Korson, Justina was doing well. So well, in fact, that she had an active social life, was very involved with school where her specific learning needs were being fully addressed. Before Justina came down with the flu, she was a competitive ice skater."
