[edit] "Sun Hudson"

It's clear the case is called the "Sun Hudson case", IFAIK. There are two PoVs abt that, and abt calling the child "Sun Hudson".

  1. The mother chose the name, and it would be offensive not to refer to the child by it. So it has to be the name of the case.
  2. The mother is manifestly unfit, along with any mother who thinks she's been impregnated by the Sun, and would have been legally declared unfit in order to carry out the removal, if the doctors had not preferred a simpler legal process of doing the removal first which left the formal fitness question moot. Respecting her claim of motherhood would be a greater indignity than considering "infant Hudson" (which the chart may well have said) to be the name in effect given by the child's only true caregivers.

Here's the NPoV which is a requirement no matter how many arguments ("We don't do dignity here") to the contrary the two PoV's advocates turn up:

  • There's nothing stilted about writing the text with phrases like "her son", and it introduces no confusion.
  • Unless there's a term for the case that's as widely accepted as "Sun Hudson case", that's our term for the case. If there is an equally good title without "Sun" in it, establish that with Google counts from the mainstream press (and not from PoV advocates who would no doubt like to use their own slogans for it to spin-doctor the public impression of it).

[edit] Sun or Son?

The article previously stated that Ms. Hudson believed her son was an embodiment of the religious figure Jesus, after reading this article: http://www.nbc5.com/health/4286333/detail.html??z=dp&dpswid=1167317&dppid=65194 and watching this clip: http://www.danpalka.net/freemovies/hudson.mov it seems apparent that she does in fact mean the literal Sun, instead of Son.
