Her parents will almost certainly die before she does, so she will be in someone else's care someday.
I don't have a problem with this treatment. It's shocking at first--especially when the stupid article doesn't mention the fact that she's severely disabled until halfway down the page--but the fact is this girl will never lead a normal life, and improving the ease of her care almost by definition improves her quality of life.
