AAPLOG and the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) joined forces and filed a joint amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in support of McKenna West’s guardianship petition and Baby Gabriel’s best interests. The brief emphasizes that every child, regardless of diagnosis or circumstance, deserves excellent medical care, strong advocacy, and protection when they cannot speak for themselves. By lending our medical expertise to this important case, AAPLOG and ACPeds affirm the dignity of every human life and the responsibility of healthcare professionals to advocate for vulnerable patients.
